Excerpt from Cautions to Young Persons Concerning Health
During the first three or four years of our medical establishment I frequently found it needful to give public lectures in this place. Even eight or ten years after its establishment it was customary to commence and to close the medical course by a public lecture in the chapel. The custom however has been discontinued several years, as nothing special excited a wish to address you altogether. Whether its revival at this time, be for a trivial or beneficial purpose, you yourselves will judge.
When our venerable forefathers fixed upon this spot, as a fit place for the education of youth, they doubtless had regard to the health of its inhabitants. A gravelly plain, near the banks of a tide river, and in the proximity of the sea, together with good springs of pellucid water, must have led our sagacious ancestors to conclude, that this was a salubrious spot for a college.
