H o w to make th e m ost m o n e y iu the shortest time is the fundam ental law o f our national ex is tence. Candidates fo r the Medical p r o fession feel its pressure.

I f one ventures to com e beforo them w ith au investigation in t o the deeper incnn- in g o f things, to g iv e them a taste o f logic and philosophy, o r to take a w id e r view o f tho relations o f the universe, he is taunted with b e in g “ visionary, th e o retical, non-practioal.\ The value o f anyth in g not seen 'in dollars and cents has to them no valno. W h y should t h e y cultivate science and philosophy! T h e r e is no m o n e y in th e m ! ' Perhaps our M e d ical schools are n o t m ore cursed w ith this tendency to su perficiality than oth e r schools, but I fea r th e y are, and I do n o t see, after a score and a half o f years o f intimate acquain- tahco with M e d ical and other classes, any im p r o v e m e n t in the thoroughness and breadth o f inform a tion students aro seeking to obtain. Perhaps it m a y b e said tlmt these re m arks are not pertin e n t to bo given to the com m on reader, but to a class o f M e d ical or L ite r a r y students. I take i t we aro all students, or all interested iu students o f all schools. But our futuro advancem ent is im p e riled by our want a f toleration. W c a r e a nation h a v in g fixed opinions. M o s t o f these opinions w e have inherited. T h e y come to us as heir-loom s from ou r parents and grand parents; aud tho lon g e r the line o f d e cent the m oro sacredly we cherish, p r o tect and defend them .

M e d ical m en are especially noted fo r t h e ir want o f toleration. This is o f ten the fau lt o f th e ir education. T h e ir A lm a M a ter» foster in them a spirit o f bigotry.

There are pleas in g exceptions to th is ruler o f coarse; but so nniversally are w e intolerant that w c m a y w e ll w o n d e r , if after all, tho w o rld o f thought does indeed progress rather than recede.
