摘要：The development of a medical museum as an integral part of a medical library is a life-process which we might retard, if we would, but which we could never wholly abort. Once you collect books, you collect biography and pictures. Then the start has been made; for the personal element lies as close to the surface of the sciences as it does to that of the arts. Behind the development of medicine loom the figures and the personalities of men. It is very much to the credit of us humans, I think, that we seek to cherish the memory of our angels and ministers of grace. That, I suppose, is briefly the fundamental reason for the institution of a medical museum.
