PREFACE
WHEN William Buchanan Wherry died, a colleague
declared that fr the last and the greatest of the bacteri-
ologists of our period" had gone. Those who share this opin-
ion find the evidence in his scientific papers. But Wherry
had a hold upon the men of his circle {those of Cincinnati,
especially) not explained by the listing of his publications.
The fact has called forth this Nachruf . Seven hundred stood
at his funeral. They were not his relatives alone, but those
who made his city, his university, his hospital, his health board;
and a bereft conglomerate which could not otherwise declare
affection. It is for these that the incidents of the following
pages have been gathered together.
--Martin Fischer
He died here Sunday ,
unknown to the
general public. But
that is as he wanted it.
His scientific work
was for use, not
for the spotlight.
