Excerpt from Intellectual Culture: A Valedictory Address Delivered to the Graduation Class of the Medical Department of the University of Louisville, 1874When I was notified by the Dean that my turn had come, in the regular order of succession, to speak the faculty fare well to you, gentlemen of the graduating class, I remembered that it is just ten years since I received the medical degree at the hands of the distinguished Mr. Guthrie, so long President of the Board of Trustees of this University. I have never for gotten the exercises and incidents of that evening, and I am quite certain that you will retain a vivid remembrance of this evening of your graduation, freighted as it is with so much of joy and hope for each, joy in the fruition of your scholastic labors, and hope of a future full of honorable usefulness, and well do I know, could the castles your busy minds are now building spring by a magic touch into living, visible realities, they would far outrival in the splendor of their tracery and design the romantic beauties of ancient Venice or the gor geons wonders of the palace of Aladdin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
