Excerpt from Addresses on Several Occasions

And as it is with the affairs of nations, so also in the comparatively restricted fields of labor in which classes of men are severally engaged, they are instinctively led, if thoughtful at all, at such epochs as the close or the begin ning of a century, to sum up what has been gained and to forecast what may be expected and hoped for.

It may be safely said that throughout the whole duration of medicine as a science studied or as an art practised among men, no period can be compared as to the number and the importance of its achievements with the century the close of which we are celebrating. Whether by small and gradual gains or by great and sudden accessions of knowledge, the medical science of to-day is so vastly in advance of what it was when this Faculty was founded that the difference is to be measured not by years only, but by a complete revolution both in our modes of dealing with disease and in our very conceptions, in many cases.
