Excerpt from Introductory Lecture, Delivered in the Castleton Medical College, on the 10th April, 1843

In the same period the Faculty has been enlarged, the course of instruction prolonged, the number of lectures increased, and every available means have been resorted to for the purpose of perfecting our college. The efforts made have been encourged and sustained by the members of the profession, and their students, and we now, and always have, gratefully acknowledged our obligations to them. To prove that we have been liberally patronized, it is only necessary to mention the number of the mem bers of our classes since 1841, in the spring of 1842, we had seventy students, during the fall session of the same year, our class numbered seventy-two, and as is known to all of you, our present number is over.
