Excerpt from The Influence of Pasteur on Medical Science: An Address Delivered Before the Medical School of Johns Hopkins University To one who treasures memories of student days spent in your pathological laboratory, when each member of a small and favored group worked under the personal guidance of the great teacher whose unselfish labors have done so much for science in this country, it is indeed an exceptional privilege to address those who represent the School of Medicine that has grown since then to be the model for 171313 an older institution. Yet I am conscious tha 13 very privilege entails a risk proportioned to the largeness of the opportu nity of using unworthily the precious moments which fortune has bestowed on me. My choice of subject has not, I fear, lessened this hazard, for I have chosen to s to you of one of the most significant men 0 the past century, whether we consider him as a person, as an investigator or as a public benefactor. I pray you, therefore, deal gently with the shortcomings of an under taking so difficult and ambitious as that of esti mating the in¿uence of a great career on the ad vance of medical science.
