Excerpt from The Past, Present, and Future of the School for Advanced Medical Studies of University College, London: Being the Introductory Address at the Opening of the Winter Session, October, 1906 IN apologising for the publication of such a transitory paper as an Introductory Address two explanations may be given. First it is an attempt to describe in a concise and readable form the educational difficulties on account of which University College was founded, and to show how from this beginning the University of London, the Hospital and the School of Advanced Medical Studies came into existence. These matters, which were keenly exciting only eighty years ago, are now rapidly passing into oblivion and may well soon be completely forgotten. Secondly it is thought that this short History of our School may interest many who did not hear it, and to whose notice there seems no other method of bringing it. It appears best to preserve the text almost exactly as it was delivered and to add in notes a number of facts upon which some of the statements are founded. They are of equal if not greater importance, but were too long to read in the short time at the disposal of the lecturer. The illustrations, it is hoped, may make the story more real. I am sorry they are not more com plete; but it is not easy to Obtain portraits of all the men whose names one would have liked thus to honour. I am under great Obligation to many kind friends who have helped me in collecting material. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
