Excerpt from The Problem of Age, Growth, and Death: A Study of Cytomorphosis

It is now over a third of a century since we were together in Leipzig as fellow-workers in the laboratory of Professor Carl Ludwig, on whom we look back as the greatest teacher of the art of scientific research whom we have ever known. He was a master of both the two great methods of biological study observation and experiment. From him we learned to regard the living organism as an apparatus, of which it was necessary to learn both the construction and the working, and always to seek the explanation of the working on the basis of the construction. Al though we have followed different lines of inquiry, the fundamental conceptions taught us by Ludwig have remained dominant. I look with admiration upon the number and importance of your scientific achievements. The pupil has proved himself worthy of the master, and has taken a master's place.
