In his book GREAT AMERICAN NATURE WRITING, Joseph Wood Krutch said of Eckstein: "Being endowed as few men have been with the gift of empathy, he can also feel his way into the existence of any living creature until that creature lives in the imagination an intense and poignant life. His way of writing is like that of no one else." This copy is INSCRIBED: "To Arthur C. Bachmeyer, with the blessings of the 'author' - from Lucile Hook, friend and colleague of us both, year after year after year, [SIGNED] Gus, October 20/36."

Subsequently Bachmeyer became dean and director at the University of Chicago. Dr. Bachmeyer served as president of the American Hospital Association. With Gerhard Hartman, he edited THE HOSPITAL IN MODERN SOCIETY (New York, Commonwealth Fund, 1943.) Established by the University of Chicago in his honor is the Arthur C. Bachmeyer Memorial Address, featured annually at the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Congress on Healthcare Management. It was in Cincinnati that the author met Bachmeyer. Eckstein earned his M. D. degree at the University of Cincinnati and in 1922 joined the faculty there as instructor in physiology.
