Excerpt from Ground-Work of Culture: Address Delivered in King"s College, London at the Distribution of Prizes on October 2, 1883
In the year 1847 the first Professor of Surgery in King"s College, in concluding the Hunterian Oration, thus addressed a highly critical audience in the Theatre of the Royal College of Surgeons of England: - "By the institution and protection of seminaries of learning, in which is cultivated Science anterior to the Sciences, as the Sciences to the especial Professions, may we best ensure the growth and increase of professions united in their attachment to all ancient institutions and in all the hereditary loves, loyalties and reverences that have ever been the precious birthright of an English gentleman - professions united with each other, and in union with the National Church..."
Joseph Henry Green never addressed an audience which he did not hold bound as by a spell. He rarely addressed one which he did not convince by his logic.
