Fifty Years Of Darwinism PDF Download

Excerpt from Fifty Years of Darwinism: Modern Aspects of Evolution; Centennial Addresses in Honor of Charles Darwin, Before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Baltimore, Friday, January 1, 1909 The greatness of a man is shown in what he is, in what he does, and in What he sets a-doing. If the long list of contributions to the ses sions Of this Association for these fifty years were searched for products of thought whose stimulus sprang from the life and works Of Charles Darwin, it would reveal an impressive testimonial to his greatness as a power in our scientific world. If it were possible to give such an intellectual product a material embodiment and an appropriate form, we could raise no more sincere monument to his memory. Even in the less tangible form it inevitably bears, it is our monument. By responses, individual and col lective, to the marvelous suggestiveness Of Dar win's inquiries and interpretations, the members of this Association during the last half century have been paying their truest tributes. More or less unconsciously, no doubt, but none the less genuinely, we have thus been doing honor to one Of the greatest of intellectual leaders.
