Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, 1916: Published Monthly It was, therefore, with some considerable satisfaction on his side that he learned that the medal would be given him without a public ceremony in New York, or elsewhere. On Dec. 5, 1915, the writer of this had the pleasure of handing him the medal, certificate, and official letters of transmittal, at his home at Spuyten Duyvil, where he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren, with one or two of his most intimate friends. He begged the writer to return his thanks to the Committee of Award, and again to express the feeling that nothing in his career merited so great an honor. On this point all of the members of she Institute will share the writer's feeling that Dr. Douglas is too mo est. James Douglas was born at Quebec, Canada, in November, 1837. His father was a distinguished physician and surgeon, employing his skill in the field of philanthropy. He established the first retreat for the insane in the Dominion, to which he devoted himself up to the time of his departure from Canada, when it was taken over by the Government.
