Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address to the Class of Medical Graduates of the University of the State of Missouri: Delivered at the Public Commencement, March 1st, 1849
Should you not be the fortunate possessors of what is usually called brilliant genius, do not despair of making any high attainments in your profession, and conclude that it would be vain for you to enter the arena of competition with others of supposed superior abilities. That you may know what your own pow! Ers are, you must try to use them. Industry is necessary to their development, and the faculties of the mind are strengthened and improved by cultivation. Without proper culture and those circumstances which are calculated to call into active exercise the powers of the intellect, the most favored by nature may live and die in obscurity.
