Excerpt from Introductory Discourse, to a Course of Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physic: Containing Observations on the Inductive System of Prosecuting Medical Inquires; And a Tribute to the Memory of the Late Dr. Benjamin Rush; Delivered at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, on the Third of November, 1813
Gentlemen,
Amidst the numerous improvements which have recently taken place in the literary establishments of the city and state of New-York, the institution of a College of Physicians and Surgeons, exclusively devoted to the great purposes of medical education, is certainly an event deserving the highest commendation. It reflects equal honour upon its founders, the Regents of the University, and upon the Legislature, from whom it has received its first endowment and patronage. This institution was first projected, and a law passed, authorizing the Regents of the University to carry it into effect, as early as 1791; but motives of respect to the Trustees of Columbia College, who had annexed a medical school to that seminary of learning, prevented the Regents from carrying the views of the Legislature into operation until 1807, when a charter was first granted for that purpose.
