Excerpt from In Memory of Dr. John Green
In the development of the Medical Department of Washington University he hoped to see his dreams of highest efficiency in every department realized, and particularly along the lines of teaching and investigation. To this end, out of his own pocket, he purchased in 1888 the first dozen microscopes that were used in the institution, in order that the students might acquire a more definite idea of histology and pathology than could possibly be obtained by lectures and blackboard demonstrations, the fashion of the period. For several years the only immersion lens in the institution for the study of bacteriology was loaned from his office.
