JAMES BRYAN HERRIGK Dr. Herrick is the Secretary of the Trustees of the Institute. He is sixty- one years old, and without a superior among the physicians of Chicago, which is the center of medical education of the western hemisphere. He has. been connected with Rush College, now the medical school of the University of Chicago, for more than thirty years, and for more than twenty as Professor of Medicine. There are various types of eminent physician — the learned, the aggressive, the men of one theory — the geniuses who get results by rash ex- periment — but Dr. Herrick is the type that medical students most admire. He inspires confidence by cpiiet mastery. He is intellectual, calm, alert, a seeing eye, a sure judgment. His patients feel that he knows what there is to be known, and observes what there is to be observed, and brings the whole bodv of medical knowledge to bear on each specific case. He is gentle, firm, kind without a trace of arrogance or a shadow of pretense. Had the Institute no other debt to Dr. Herrick, it could never forget what he did, as medical adviser, for the Director.
