The success of his scientific mission exceeded his most sanguine
expectations. The work in which he long persevered in isolation and
under most depressing difficulties, bore fruit at last. Apart from the
full recognition that the progress of the world's science would be
incomplete without India's special contributions, mutual appreciation
and better understanding resulted from his visit. One of the greatest of
Medical Institutions, the Royal Society of Medicine, has been pleased to
regard his address before the society as one of the most important in
their history and they expected that their science of medicine would be
materially benefited by the researches that are being carried out by him
in India. India has also been drawn closer to the great seats of
learning in the West, to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge; for
there also the methods of inquiry initiated here have found the most
cordial welcome. Many Indian students find their way to America,
strangers in a strange land; hitherto they found few to advise and
befriend them. It will perhaps be different now, since their leading
Universities have begged from India the courtesy of hospitality for
their post graduate scholars. Some of these Universities again have
asked for a supply of apparatus specially invented at Dr. Bose's
laboratory which in their opinion will mark an epoch in scientific
advance.
