Three years are not sufficient to make a man thoroughly acquainted with all that a skillful physician should know. Well-educated, scientific physicians are needed, and such men Harvard should send out, but three years is too short a time to accomplish this in. Yet most of those who have spent four years in a college think that they have neither time nor money to devote to another four year's course...
