Excerpt from Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of the Philadelphia College of Medicine: At the Annual Commencement, March 2nd, 1859
To a considerable extent scientific investigation is not only compatible with the active, daily duties of the physician, but in reality by inculcating close and accurate habits of observation very often becomes a guarantee of success in the performance of those duties. The truth of this you may learn from the lives and labors of Hunter, Baillie. Prichard, Morton, Drake and many others whose names I might mention. The celebrated Doctor Baillie of London was frequent ly advised to abandon his anatomical pursuits lest they should interfere with his prosperity as a practitioner. This he wisely refused to do, and ultimately this very knowledge rendered him vastly superior to those who attempted to compete with him in practice. Sir Hans Sloan, the favorite physician of Queen Anne was regarded as one of the greatest naturalists of his day yet it is te corded of him that his great scientific attainments did not act as a bar to his professional advancement, for his practice was very extensive. John Hunter, the surgeon-naturalist of the 18th century, and the author as he has justly been called, of a new era in the history of our profession.
