Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of Cornell University, Medical College, Vol. 15: Studies From the Departments of Pathology, Bacteriology, Hygiene; 1915 In physiology we strained our eyes from a back row of hard benches at half dissected calves, dogs and cats, purporting to demonstrate the mechanisms of the living body. Pharmacologic preparations were lazily passed around the class to the dreary hum of endless didactic lectures compiled from books on materia medica. There were 250 of us and at least one drug for each, but a pharmacologic laboratory demonstration had not been heard of. Many students never attended lectures, and some openly declared it was not worth while. Copies of the lecture notes commanded a ready market. Not the least depressing influence was the Shocking illiteracy of not a few of the lecturers, which was in striking contrast with the dignity, force and careful preparation of a few distinguished men who laboredin vain to teach medicine by precept. The only seri ous instruction was purchased outside among a group of quiz-masters who had brought the art Of cramming to the very zenith of perfection.
