"To a lifelong interest in biography as a recreation I have added a strong conviction of its value in education, and so it has happened that for the occasional address a biographical subject was often chosen. Of those here collected, all of which have already appeared in the journals, more that half deal with aspects of the life of physicians in the United States. In what better way could I show gratitude for the extraordinary kindness experienced during twenty-one years than by a constant appeal to the students to take as their own models the great men of the profession of their own country?" -- Preface (by William Osler).
