    I am fully conscious that no verbal description can adequately convey to you what manner of men these were, who have adorned our profession, and left us the legacy of their skill and of their characters. My aim in this address has been to show you that the rise of modern ophthalmology has been achieved by a few great men who at all times lived up to the highest standards of work, of duty, and of professional honour. May we try to be worthy, though humble, followers of these masters, seeking to work as they worked, with singleness of purpose, untiring industry, and steadfast faith. Much has been done : more still remains to do : therefore with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, ever mindful that we must be up and doing while it is called to-day, for the night cometh when no man can work.
