Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial Discourse on the Life and Services of Alonzo Benjamin Palmer, M. D., LL. D: Professor in the University From 1852 to 1887; Dean of the Department of Medicine and Science On the death of Dr. Palmer, the President called a special meeting of the University Senate. The meeting was held in the President´s room on the afternoon of December 26, 1887. A tribute to the memory of Dr. Palmer, prepared by a committee of the Senate, was adopted and ordered to be entered on the records. The Secretary was directed to transmit a copy of this tribute to Mrs. Palmer, and to furnish the press with copies for publication. Preliminary arrangements were also made at this meeting for the delivery of a memorial address. The following is a copy of the memorial tribute, taken from the Senate records: Professor Alonzo B. Palmer, M. D., LL. D., Professor of Pathology and the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Department of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Michigan, died at his residence in this city, on Friday, the 23rd of December, 1887, in the seventy-third year of his age. To the majority of people, even his acquaintances and intimate friends, this event was wholly unanticipated until within a few hours of his decease, but to the practiced medical observer it had been for more than a year apparent that Dr. Palmer was slowly failing in physical strength and vigor, and, for some months past, disease had stamped itself upon his features in such a manner - impossible to describe in words, and incapable of recognition or interpretation except by the observant physician - as to indicate that it was organic in its nature, and would soon terminate his life. For a long time he had a constant and overwhelming dread of becoming incapacitated for active work by the infirmities incident to advanced age, and therefore relegated to a life of inactivity in which he would be a mere incumbrance and burden upon others, and where he would be compelled, with regretful eyes, to look upon some younger and more active laborer taking up the line of work which had been his life s duty and pleasure. His wishes and his prayer were that be might be spared this infliction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
