摘要：Colonel Garrison's interest in the Medical Library Association has been constant from its inception in 1898 and its members have lost a wise counselor and understanding friend. His life was devoted to furthering all things pertaining to medical libraries and particularly to medical history. In his work at the Army Medical Library, scanning hundreds of medical articles a day, his scope of theoretic medicine became ever wider, and he was a competent critic. He could be delightfully sarcastic, uttering his mirth in a low full voice. "Piffie," he would chuckle at a superficial statement. As Colonel Garrison was more permanent at the Library than the librarians in charge, he became widely known and had innumerable contacts in the wide professional world. His modesty and willingness to serve held the friendship of medical men all over the globe. Everyone sent books and pictures, so that the walls of his office held fifty photographs. His book on Medical History was to an extent the result of such contacts. In his mind great men stood out as in a hall of famc, distinct and recognized at a glance. His science lived, his true memory enlivened it. Foreign languages were a matter of course. His translations showed mastery of the idiom and a grasp of the spirit of the original author. They were works of art.
