Abstract
As proof that any man of science enjoys fame extending beyond the limits of his own country, we have at our disposal one rather delicate test. The printed word has, of course, great value in this respect, and there is no doubt that publication of papers by foreign journals denotes a quite definite recognition of a man's status by his colleagues abroad. But it is when members of learned societies in other countries have become so interested in a man's work that they desire to see him in person, and hear him for themselves, that it may most truly be said that he has achieved an international reputation in his subject.
