Alvin Johnson at Eighty

A whole literature of citations, eulogies, testimonials, of addresses, editorials and reviews has grown around the work and record of Alvin Johnson. How can one add anything without being repetitious? When he celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday his friends and admirers seemed to have made the “definitive” appraisal. Then he wrote his Pioneer’s Progress and confounded those who thought they knew him well.
