Vvhen~ we follow in the steps of this great master, when, after his manner, we compare the humblest form Of animated thing with that which is highest in the scale of being, - the simplest with that which is most complex in its structure and perfect in its organization, we perceive, even at a glance, the vast distance which separates them. At one end of this great chain of being, we find a multitude of living things, so sim ple in their structure, that they exhibit no function save one - nutrition no power save one - that of continuing of their species. At the other is Man, greatly pre-eminent over all the rest by his many and high endowments. Between the two extremes are placed multitudes of groups, presenting every variety of form and size, of character and condition, but which, when classed and arranged, are found to constitute a uniform series, each like the links Of a chain, being connected with the group above it and that below it, and so forming a continued line from the highest to the lowest.

Excerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course of Anatomy and Physiology: Delivered at the Opening of Session, 1831-32
Gentlemen,
When, at the opening of the Session, my friend and colleague availed himself of the occasion, to direct your attention to the different departments of medical study which are confided to our superintendence, it was with unfeigned satisfaction I heard him dwell on the advantages and importance of a liberal education. Important it must be to every individual in a cultivated and enlightened community, but to none more important than to the members of the different professions.
To promote the cultivation of science - to enlarge the boundaries of knowledge, and diffuse the advantages of education as widely as possible - to combine the benefits of classical with scientific attainment, and impart to students of every profession the influence of that light which flows from general acquirement; - these are the purposes for which this University was originally founded, and to such objects it has been, and, I am sure, ever will be, steadily directed. To be connected by the ties of friendship with those eminent men I now see around me, would, under any circumstances, be a source of sincere satisfaction: - to be associated with them in the cultivation of science, and in the diffusion of knowledge, I esteem an honourable distinction.
