Excerpt from Two Lectures on the Conduct of the Medical Life
A great soldier was asked in my presence what was in warfare the most interesting thing. He said, Recruits going into their first battle. What he thought as to the young soldier I feel whenever it is my lot to see a mass of men about to turn from the training of the schools and to face the grim realities of the physician's life.
Here before me are some hundreds of men in the morning of exist ence. Where will the noonday find you? And the evening hour, when labor is over, and, looking back, the conscience, undisturbed by' new ambitions, shall make up the ledger of a life - Will it leave you weighted with the debts of wasted chances, or rich with the honest. Interest of accumulated character? That the veteran like myself should look with a certain sad curiosity at a group of young soldiers is not strange. Here are men of varied individuality, of unequal fortunes, of every condition of life - some for whom all their ways have been thus far made easy, some for whom life has been always hard.
