Excerpt from Clinical Medicine Tuesday Clinics at the Johns Hopkins HospitalThe philosopher Paulsen in his book on universities said that if the lecture system were not necessary for the students, it would be necessary for the sake of the teachers. Clinics and clinical lectures demand careful preparation by the lecturer and compel him to relate the concrete facts Of a case to his knowledge Of medicine as a whole. They make a teacher more systematic, and they lead him to consider the philosophy Of his subject, for a lecture necessitates the directing of the attention constantly toward the essential and the universal, and so acts as a healthy corrective Of the narrowing tendencies Of special ism. Moreover, when lecturing, a wise teacher can tell immediately through his personal contact with his pupils whether or not what he gives them is living, effective, fruitful, and true. Students are less patient than paper, they grow restless under the mediocre, the barren, the dead, the unreal, or the inane, they demand that vocal teaching be vital, effective, and true, they exert a silent but perceptible in¿uence upon those who teach. And, as Paulsen further emphasized, the effectiveness of the lecture is enhanced to some extent by the larger audience, the many eyes that look up at the lecturer give wings to his thoughts, and lend his words such force and animation as cannot be attained within a narrower circle. In all these ways the teacher himself benefits by resorting at times to a form Of instruction that involves speaking before a large group of students.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
