Excerpt from History of Anatomy: Introductory Address Delivered at the Opening of the 45th Session of the Hahnemann Medical College of PhiladelphiaThe old college building, which for nearly forty years had been the home of your Alma Mater, and from which had been sent forth nearly graduates, was small, dilapidated, and in every way unfit for a modern medical college. Its lecture rooms were badly lighted and worse ventilated the seats were uncomfortable, the halls narrow and the stairs steep and winding. The laboratories were small, badly equipped and scarcely deserving the name. The hospital, in the rear, with but about twenty-five beds, was equally unfit for its purposes, and of but little credit to the college or the profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
