Excerpt from Sir William Osler, Bart: Brief Tributes to His Personality, Influence and Public Service
At the opening of the fourth academic year, September, 1879, Professor Acland, then Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, was expected to give a lecture embodying his advice as to the proper co-ordination between the university and hospital in the organization of an advanced medical school. Unfortunately, on account of illness, he was unable to deliver the address. His views, however, have been preserved in a letter to the university and hospital authorities. How sur prised he would have been had he been told that it was from this unborn medical school that his successor at Oxford was to be chosen!
In the early days the university was a small, compact body, made up, for the most part, of a young, active faculty, sur rounded by a group of advanced workers, called fellows, and other post-graduate students, and a few rather over-powered undergraduates. Every encouragement and opportunity was given to research and to prompt publication of work aecom plished. There was the closest sympathy among all the depart ments, and everyone knew and sympathized with the work of the others. It was naturally around Martin that the idea of the medical school germinated, and a more inspiring teacher it would be hard to imagine. Besides the regular biological courses, he gave lectures to medical students and practitioners of the city, and graduates in medicine entered his laboratory for special work.
