Century Memorial

Medicine and surgery sustained loss from the death of Edward Leaming, our leading X-ray specialist, and Professor of Micro-photography in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He was president of the New York Roentgen Society, and an enthusiast in his profession. Many of us will recall with gratitude and pleasure his instructive conversation and the fascinating photographs which he often had with him.
