Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Higher Medical Education and the Need of Its Endowment
What preparation should a student bring to the study of medicine? It is highly desirable, in my judgment, that he should be liberally educated; that is, he should possess a degree in arts or in science which shall be an index of that knowledge and culture which, apart from any immediate bearing upon professional studies, are recognized as entitling their possessor to be ranked among liberally educated men. Scientific studies have acquired the right to rank with classic studies in afford ing this liberal culture; but the humanities should have a fair share of attention at this period of education.
