Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Methods and Scope of Natural Object Teaching in the Medical School
We have met here today to formally open the one hundred and first academic session of this institution. The dean has greeted, in behalf of the school, the men who have assembled to take up another year of medical work, and has bid welcome to those who today begin their professional life. It has fallen to my lot to address you on some topic bearing on the work you are about to undertake and prosecute during the coming academic year. It seems to me that I can best fulfill this office if I draw your attention to the practical application, in your own indi vidual cases, of the great educational principle which underlies the words of Agassiz, just quoted, Study nature, not books. For in the very broadest and highest sense you are students of nature, and will remain such all through your professional life, if that life is to reach its full maturity and produce its best fruits. A con sideration of the Methods of natural object study implies, it seems to me, in our particular case the analysis, on one hand.
