Sherrington contributed a paper to the first volume (pp.88-90): Addition Latente and recruitment in reflex contraction and inhibition. Faint library stamps of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Besides containing Sherrington's paper (Nobel 1932), this celebratory volume includes the original contributions of Ivan Pavlov (Nobel 1904), Bernardo Alberto Houssay (Nobel 1947), and Sir Oliver Lodge (British physicist who developed radio technology). Notably, A Charles Richet - ses amis, ses collegues, ses eleves contains Cannon's essay, Physiological regulation of normal states: Some tentative postulates concerning biological homeostasis (p. 91) that includes his first use of the term, "homeostasis," subsequently expanded in his book, The Wisdom of the Body (1932).
