In common with most speakers chosen to deliver important memorial lectures, I am overwhelmed by a sense of inadequacy and would be uncomfortably conscious of the great honor you have conferred upon me, were it not that I also have a feeling of pride and pleasure today. For, 11 years ago I came to San Francisco to take part in the dedication ceremony of the Francis Proctor Research Laboratories, travelling leisurely and sedately by train, encapsulated in a Vistadome with Jonas Friedenwald and Alan Woods. What a memorable journey it was-—enjoying the conversation of these very different but highly intelligent men as I watched the magnificent country roll by! And what a worthwhile journey it has proved! For, the Proctor Laboratories in so short a time have fully realized the hopes we then held that we were dedicating a new world center of research in ophthalmology.I feel, therefore, that my first journey is in a sense completed for me by this opportuн nity to come again after your years of sucн cess, to add my congratulations personally, as though this was even remotely required, and to pay tribute both to the inspiration of Francis Proctor, who by his legacy made your work possible through the endowment of the Proctor Foundation for Research in Ophthalmology, and to his widow, Mrs. Eliн sabeth Proctor, who founded this lectureн ship in his memory.
