Excerpt from A Clergyman's Idea of a Model Physician: An Address Delivered at the Commencement of the Albany Medical College, June 8, 1858
When first invited to address you on this occasion, I naturally hesitated in yielding to the request, because of the seeming incongruity in one of another profession at tempting to speak to you in relation to subjects and duties with which he claimed to have no special acquaintance. And not till assured, that I would not be expected to enter upon the discussion of any subject involving medical sci ence or art, but would be left to suggest some obvious hints on any popular topic, which might be deemed appropriate to you as young men, just entering upon the discharge of the important duties of professional life, did I consent to occupy this position.
