Dedication DOCTOR WILLIAM LOFLAND DUDLHY has been connected with Vanderbilt Uni- versity, as Professor of Chemistry, since 1886. Few men have exercised so great an influence, both in and out of the class room. His strong personality and kindly disposition have contributed largely to this end. Not only is his class room pop- ular, the School of Chemistry efficiently organized, but his researches in his chosen field and the publication of their results have helped materially to make the name of Vanderbilt known and respected abroad. Among numerous publications, many of which have been reproduced in foreign journals, we may mention his “ Researches in the Metallurgy of Irid- ium,” and the “Physiological Hffects of Cigarette Smoking.” He likewise discovered the physiological effects of the X-Ray. Before coming to Vanderbilt Dr. Dudley had already an enviable record in his native state. He was Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in Miami Medical College, Cincin- nati, from 1880-1885. When the medical department of Vanderbilt University was reorganized in 1895 he was made Dean. Much of the success that has since attended the school, and the splendid reputation it is making for thorough work, is due to his efficient administration. Dr. Dudley has also been a potent factor in university life. No professor is more generally known by the student body; none, perhaps, exerts a greater and better influence over many of them, and none is more esteemed. His advice, often sought and readily given, is always weighty and in the highest interest of the student. Through his intelligent interest in athletics he has made a marked impress on Southern student life, lie organized and developed to its present efficiency the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and has seen the principles for which it contended— amateurism, clean sport, and good morals therewith—triumph in the South. It is gratifying to know that his presence at the recent meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States had no little to do with their adoption of the eligibility rules that prevail in this part of the country. In the world of scholars Dr. Dudley is well known. He is a Fellow of the Chemical Society of London and a member of many of the liuropean and American Scientific Associa- tions, from whose hands he has received signal honors. He has been treasurer and presi- dent of the Lngineering Association of the South. In 1889, as vice president of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, he delivered an address at its meeting in Toronto, Canada, on “ The Nature of Amalgams.” As a man of affairs lie has had a significant career, lie was a commissioner of the Cincinnati Industrial Hxposition from 1881-1885 and its second vice president in 1884. The success of the Tennessee Centennial Hxposition in «897, of which he was director of affairs, was due in no small measure to his wise management. It is with sincere appreciation of the interest he takes in all university affairs, of his unfailing readiness to minister to the various phases of student life, that the editors dedicate this volume to him.
