Excerpt from Address Delivered to the Medical Graduates of the University of Vermont at Their Commencement, June 27, 1901

Generally Speaking, the most serious obstacle that bars the way of a young graduate in entering into practical life, is the mic inertia of irresolution - the preference for the flowery beds of ease, and the lotos-eating habits so readily acquired in col lege. Everything there is purposely made easy for him, and consequently, tends to pamper his self-indulgence. But when he enters the world, he finds everything hard and obtainable only by a struggle and the payment of a price. He feels, therefore, that he starts at a disadvantage - that he needs the lateral support of a rich relative, or a different social position, or the favor of a political magnate to give him at once the coveted advancement. Fatal mistake! These feelings come from below, and are the favorite suggestions of the Tempter, with which he enslaves every idler and coward. No young man needs sudden advancement, in fact, it is always dangerous.
