“Dr. Whitman has left two monuments to his memory and these are the {{w|Marine Biological Laboratory}} at {{w|Woods Hole, Massachusetts|Woods Hole}}, of which he was the first director, and the {{w|Journal of Morphology}}, which he founded. The one in vigorous growth and prosperity, the other ceasing at the end of the seventeenth volume after publishing nearly ten thousand pages and hundreds of plates.”
