Coming as it will at the close of thirty-three years of service to the health of Harvard University, the resignation of Marshall Henry Bailey is a source of regret. The work of few men ends with their own active participation in it; particularly true is this in the case of Doctor Bailey. In his position of Medical Adviser he has been one of the master artisans in a new University attitude toward physical well-being.

Doctor Bailey has engineered, or assisted in the fixture of more necessities than the Infirmary, of more signs of progress than the growth of the medical staff from one to twelve members. He has seen the advent of rigid examination for Freshmen and all athletes, and a tendency of the University to provide the means of correction. As a builder of a vigilance that will be permanent Doctor Bailey has well-earned the gratitude of Harvard men.
