Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class, at the Fifty-Second Commencement of Castleton Medical College
But how could I compress into a brief address the facts and knowledges for which a life-long experience is to be granted you? How could I here unfold properly the volume of the dignity of our profession, whose first pages were written with the earliest annals of our race, and to which each succeeding year, from the grey dawn of time downwards, has added new leaves, written in clearer characters. As, on this occasion, the broad field of our common labors rises to our view, I, who have but a few years preceded you on its limits, can only give you here and there isolated hints of those facts and principles which are just beginning to dawn upon me, and for crowding which into a completed picture, a lifetime is given to each one of us.
