Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture, Delivered at the Opening of the Forty-Eight Course of Lectures in the Medical College of Ohio, 1857 We have convened this evening for the purpose Of opening in due form, the thirty-eighth course of lectures in the Med ical College of Ohio. Allow me, gentlemen, in the name of the faculty, to welcome you to this institution, and to give you the voluntary pledge, that it will be our most ardent desire to promote your welfare, while you sojourn among us. The Medical College of Ohio bears an ancient and honor able name. For thirty-seven years she has stood before the profession, and now has her numerous alumni scattered throughout the West and South. Her faculty, at various periods, has embraced many of the ablest men Of our country, - few schools indeed can exhibit a brighter galaxy in years gone by, than this. The names of Drake, Eberle, Locke, Mussey, Moorhead, Harrison, Shotwell, Cobb, were chief among those who made a name and reputation for this school, equal to any of her Sister institutions. But many of these jewels of our profession have, in the fullness of time, been gathered to their final homes. Drake, Eberle, Shotwell, Harrison, Locke, have passed to that un discovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns. The pendant boughs of the weeping willow point in sorrowing silence to the oblivion of the tomb but the fame Of those we loved and honored, lives on fresh in the great heart of our profession.
