To the President and Fellows of The Academy of Medicine, Toronto: Gentlemen, I accept with much pleasure the portrait just presented to me by Dr. Bingham on behalf of the Graduates of Trinity Medical College in such kind and pleasing terms, representing the more than warm feelings entertained towards me personally, by the Graduates of my old College. Fifty-one of the best years of my life were spent as an earnest Medical educationist. Thirty-two of these, from April, 1871, till June, 1903, were specially devoted to the founding-establishing on as firm a foundation as possible—and building up, of Trinity Medical College, with all the energy I possessed, ever keeping in view, and promoting, as far as was in my power, the best interests of every student, who entered the College during that long period. I therefore appreciate this presentation coming from her graduates very highly. It vividly recalls many past and most pleasing years-years to me of continuous delight in daily meeting my classes. With all my heart I thank every graduate, who has had a share in this presentation, who was as loyal to his College as I was, and who now cherishes as sincerely as I do her glorious memory. I regard this presentation as a fresh and marked evidence that the hearts of our graduates continue to beat, as my own does, with mingled pleasure and pride, as we think of the magnificent work Trinity Medical College did for Practical Medical Education during the long and useful years of her existence. No wonder that my whole heart was given to promoting and stimulating so great and so grand a work. It is, however, and I think our graudates will all agree with me, very largely, perhaps chiefly, to commemorate the glorious and long continued usefulness of our College, that this presentation is now made. The numerous high positions our graduates occupy where they are practising their profession, and the eminence attained by so many of them, in Canada and elsewhere, bear testimony stronger than any words of mine can do, to the excellence of the professional training they received within her walls. I may here mention as illustrative of the fact just stated, the well-known names of Professors Alex. H. Ferguson, of Chicago, Teskey and G. A. Bingham, of Toronto, who with many others are eminent surgeons, and did time permit, the names of many others |
