Excerpt from In Memoriam: A Memoir of Abram Du Bois, M.D. Of New York
In 1832 he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons as a student, then located in Barclay Street, and in which his preceptor was demonstrator of anatomy. He received the degree of doctor of med icine from that institution in 1835. It was during the last two years of his pupilage that he discharged the duties of an assistant to Dr. Benjamin Ogden, who was then resident physician of Bellevue Alms house Hospital. In the J uly following his gradua tion, with the advice of his friend and preceptor, he sailed from New York for Paris, where he followed with diligence and commendable assiduity the clinics of Louis, Andra], and Gbomel, in medicine, and Vel peau, Lisfranc, and Sichel, in surgery. He returned to New York in the month of December, 1836; and shortly after, he and his former associate, Dr. D. L. Eigenbrodt, received the appointment of assistant resident physicians to Bellevue Hospital, which wasstill under the care of Dr. Ogden. Soon after enter ing upon their duties in that hospital, Dr. Ogden was appointed resident physician of Bloomingdale Asylum for the insane, and while nominally retain ing the position of resident physician, he reliu quished the duties and compensation incident to the othee to Drs. Du Bois and Eigenbrodt. He fre quently said that this appointment was of the great est value to him, as it a?'orded him ample opportu nity for testing, in daily practice, the views of Louis and other distinguished teachers of Paris.
