The Psychology of Sex

the other children came to regard as arranged solely in his honour. Just as Osler in his lifetime, whether in Montreal, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Oxford, was the teacher, friend, and fellow-student to every earnest seeker after truth in medicine, so to many of my and later generations who were brought up on his original textbook , who have read his monographs, and who have studied and pondered his addresses, he is still the wise friend, the clinical adviser, the unseen conisultant and(the peacemaker when professional friction arises.
