Examinations of various tissues from infected animals incTicatect that the plasmodia inhabiting blood cells are phagocytize(1 by macrophages in strategically placed organs, such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow, and that the macrophages conspicuously increase in number, especially as acquired immunity develops, largely because of the heteroplastic division and development of lymphocytes and monocytes into macrophages. Tolly became convinced that the baffling anal, up to this time, largely ignored lymphocytes were important in defense.

William had frequent nonbusiness lunches at the men's round table at the Quadrangle Club. Their apartment was acloquately cared for by dependable and trustworthy Negro women, except for ten years during the depression when they were fortunate to have a young Irish maid, Kathryn Quinn, who learned to serve them and their company beautiful dinners.

In 1949 he received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Temple University, the Mary Kingsley Me(lal from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene of Great Britain. In 1953 he was made an honorary member of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Chile and in 1954 was elected president of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

They guided Volume ~ in 1961 and Volume 2 in 1962 through publication and then entrusted the chore to others. From 1956 on, Tolly was invited to give various opening or closing addresses at symposiums or international congresses at Oak Riclge, Rutgers, Stockholm, Lonclon, and Rome, as well as lectures at the Naples Zoological Society, the Pasteur Institute, and the University of Glasgow.

Tolly's careful, thorough, and precise analysis of the hemolysin response along with his earlier emphasis on the cellular nature of immunity played a key role in redirecting immunology into the mainstream of biology. This pioneering advance has never been adequately acknowledged.
