Within the sphere of Welch's influence "...grew up a band of
devoted followers who received their inspiration from him and were prepared, when their
time came, to carry elsewhere the spirit of his laboratory and the influence of his
magnetic personality. These men were in truth his earliest disciples, and amongst them
were some who were destined to leave their mark upon American medicine."
