BY J. G. ADAMI, M.D., Professor of Pathology in the McGill University, Montreal. (Reprinted from the Montreal Medical Journal, October, 1894.) "ON THIS SIDE JORDAN." Inaugural Lecture in the Faculty of Comparative Medicine, McGill University, October, 1894. By J. G. Adami, M.A., M.D. " Profesgorof Pathology in the MofJill University, Montreal' Gentlemen — In this Faculty, as in that of medicine, it is the old established, time-honoured custom, and a kindly custom at that, to have, as it were, a little ceremony of welcome at the beginning of each new academical year in the shape of an inaugural meeting and an inaugural lecture. It is in this way that you, the new students just entering the school, see before you, passing, as it were in review, the body of your teachers — that we, your teachers, make our first acquaintance as a body with you. Some of us, natur- ally, you have seen before, as you have been hovering in a state of uncomfortable unrest round the precincts of the college ; just as, according to the old poets, those about to be born hover disconsolate in Hades. To one at least of us you are already personally acquainted through that simple operation of enregistration ; but as a body you are unknown to us until now, and we are complete strangers to you. Thus this inaugural lecture serves to both parties con- cerned, to you and to us, a very useful purpose, and speak- ing for my associates I may say that individually and as a body we all of us are more than glad to have this oppor- tunity of meeting you, of making, even if rather formally, your acquaintance, and of striving from the first, not simply to put you at your ease, but what is more and of higher import to make you feel from the start that you are not coming into the camp of your enemies, but that you have in us a body of those earnestly desirous of being your friends in the highest sense of the term, of helping you on and of making each one of you one of us ; one, that is to say, in spirit and in desire to do good work and honest in what is among the very greatest and noblest of the pro- 8 fessions. T say advisedly one of us, for now you have passed a sta^^e further in your career by the ordeal of n)atriculation ; you are no longer niendjers, as you must have been in the old days, of isolated schools, ))ut by matriculation you have become iriembers of a University, and in this way you are members of a large corporation which, though at first you may feel inclined to regard as composed of two wholly dissimilar elements, of teachers . and students, I would nevertheless have you from the start regard as being a single united body ; for in the university it is that the student cannot live without the teacher, the teacher is of no effect unless he has students, and the more these two elements, elements of co-operation, work together towards one common goal, the greater must be the power of the university, the greater its harmony, the greater the work by it performed. We, your professors that are to be, and you are separated by no wide gulf ; on the contrary, we are more nearly akin to each other than is possible, I suppose, for you at this moment to realize, and while at the very start I would point out to you, the scholars, ^hat it is wise that we the teachers receive from you, as I know we shall, all that respect befitting those who occupy a senior position, a position of authority ; nevertheless, at the same time I would ask you to believe that we, like yourselves, are human and have like feelings and similar aspirations. It seems to me but a very little while ago, and yet when one comes to measure^the time it is long years back since I, like you, ma(ie my first entry into university life and sat in the th ;atre in which all was new to me, surrounded by those who were to be the friends and rivals of the next few years, and listened to the inaugural lecture introducing me into my new career. I still see clearly the scene, see the strange faces around me, the body of professors trooping in one after the other, see the old principal of the college stuttering out some general statements with regard to what had been happening during the last few months in college and hear him give a few words of welcome, and then see l»efort' me the proff^asor to whom was allotted tlie delivery of the inaugural address. How I reinemher >w clearly as thouj^h it were yesterday the awe that fell upon me in listening to him, the feeling that here was one be- longing to another world immeasurably superior ; the wonder, too, that any ordinary man could attain to such knowledge as ^yas evidently his. I remember wondering, too, what it all meant, what the future would be, how I should stand in relation to those students, my opponents that were to be, how possibly I could gain any respectable place in the contest with those keen-facei], intelligent young fellows, whose capacity I did not in the least know, but of whom many had intellect written rial to draw lipon, you can hegin to apprehend easily their motives and their methods in life, and from this com- prehension can form your model ; so that insensibly the practical lessons that you now gain in men and manners must mould and affect your whole future life. In rivalries, in the pleasant associations also outside the class room with your fellows, you learn how to conduct yourselves to- wards them, you see and learn what course of actit)n it is that best connuends j'ou to them, and from example, and from hard experience you learn thus how to conurably towards all men. This is, as I say, the very salt, it seems to me, of a university career, and I have little doubt that the more you keep this in mil. \ the more, to look at the matter from the very lowest standpoint, you will profit in the future. As the old motto of one of the oldest of the English public schools has it : " Manners makith man." And I have little doubt that from a purely commercial and self-seeking side, as well as from the higher ground of self-respect and mental content, you will in your future life experience the truth of this saying. And here with regard to this mingling with your fellows anu ; rmbraco (^vj'iy opportunity of preparation for tlu' ta.sk. While treatinj^ of tlii.s matter of matuiers ami niinglinj:; with UM'U thert^ is in thi.s university life anoth«'r a»lvanta;^'e that I wish to l»rin^' before you, tht; a
