Excerpt from The City and the Sea: With Other Cambridge Contributions in Aid of the Hospital Fund
For the welfare of every community certain institutions are needed, prominent among which are schools and religious societies. There is another institution whose necessity is not perhaps as widely recognized, yet whose mission is of great importance. This is the hospital, an outcome of Christianity; for though we do not exactly know in what way the ancients cared for their sick poor, the probability is that the work was done by individual Good Samaritans. The hospital, as known to us of modern times, undoubtedly had its origin among the Medieval monks, who, whatever their faults, certainly showed a praiseworthy spirit of kindness toward the poor and afflicted.
