Excerpt from The Value of a Diploma: A Valedictory Address Delivered Before the Medical Graduates of Harvard University, at the Massachusetts Medical College in Boston, Wednesday, March 7, 1860I have called your diploma symbolic of whatever is true and essential, of whatever is vital in your profession. It is so. It is significant of the 'fact that underlies the science of medicine, and justifies the existence of a medical class or profession. To consider a diploma from this point of view would be to make it a text for discussing the value of medical science and art in our civilization, or in any possible civilization, it would be to enter a plea in behalf of medicine, and, taking hold of the core and heart of the matter, to show the absolute necessity of its existence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
