An obituary or tribute notes Osler's wide renown stems from his talent to spark discussion rather than his professorial work at McGill Penn Johns Hopkins or Oxford. It recalls a 1905 New York Herald account of his controversial remark on age and research and cites literary echoes in Anthony Trollope's Australasia vignette.

Wage increases won’t lift all workers say Wis. professor
Professor Wing of the University of Wisconsin concludes in a Citizens Library section that even a 25 percent wage rise would leave capitalists and the employed with little to gain from higher earnings. He argues production power sets incomes and only increasing national output can improve purchasing power for workers. The Nation Bank of New York comments on potential wage gains through confiscation of rents and profits, noting minimal overall improvement.
