There is no guessing how many of us cherish the lives of those who mean much to us--lives that have been preserved, directly or indirectly, through the researches of this rather reserved, conservative-minded physician. He was a pioneer among pioneers. When he returned from Europe in the early seventies, comparatively little was known about the scientific study of pathology by microscope. The powers of the young man were very speedily recognized by Dr. Henry J. Bigelow, and a way was cleared for him. In fact, the beginnings of the pathological building at the Massachusetts General Hospital were made...
...choosing and rejecting it is important to be one's self. Mr. Rogers is to be thanked for saying that so well. But the conclusion of the homily will certainly be dangerous doctrine for Freshmen unless it is very carefully read and perhaps even then.

If you pass them satisfactorily, you can go on with whatever activities you may choose; if you fail, you have...
...point out one other thing to you, and that is what we mean by accomplishing something. Are you thinking of reputation? If your idea is reputation, you will get your reward. Reputation is a fairly easy thing to get. A little judicious advertising and a little putting forth of one's self will bring a great deal of reputation. Reward is not necessarily of real value to a man who has a deep, earnest conviction of what he wants to do in life. It is the act which is the life itself, and not the fame of it which...
