Abstract
By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, most members of the American medical elite could point with admiration to Rudolf Virchow and his school of cellular pathology.

The great Berlin pathologist sought, if not to fuse the two disciplines, then certainly to bring them into closely contiguous relation.1
