Papers and Addresses (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers and Addresses This book of addresses has been published to perpetuate the memory of one who, during his whole medical life, was connected with the Medical Faculty of McGill University, and who had much to do with the shaping of its destinies. His interest in Medical Education was always of the greatest, and his whole heart was in the work of increasing the efficiency of the Faculty with which he was connected, and keeping it well up in the forefront of scientific progressive schools of medicine. His advocacy of any new method of teaching or new department to be added to the curriculum was always vigorous and candid, provided he was assured that it was in the interest of the School. These addresses will be valuable to all graduates who wish to know the history and progress of their Alma Mater, for they contain a narrative of the advances made during the most progressive period of the Faculty, and also the difficulties and trials which had to be encountered in order to arrive at such brilliant results. As Dean, Dr. Craik was the moving spirit in the Faculty from 1889 to 1902. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
