VALEDICTORY ADDRE££ DELIYIKKD AT THE ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT or The Hahnemann Medical College, Jog OF PHILADELPHIA, , March 10,h, 1971, Ax the Academy or /dusic, Prof. Richard Koch, M. D. PHILADELPHIA: \\u. P. Kildare, Printer, Nos. 734 and 736 Sansom Street. 1811. VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. Gentlemen of tiie Graduating Class: Jacques—in Shakespeare’s Comedy—“ As you like •A 99 \f, says: —“ All the worM’s a stage, “ And all tlie men and women merely players; “ They have their exits and their entrances ! ” You, Gentlemen, have arrived at that momentous period, when you make your exit from collegiate life, and enter the professional. The exit is fraught with pleasant reminiscences of the past, and the entrance clouded with fears of future responsibilities. Your marked attention to the Lectures of the Course, your industry in efforts to benefit yourselves by home study, your close application to practical and scientific exercises, must leave you more or less wearied; and like? a faithful pilgrim, at last arrived at the much desired point of holy aspiration, you may now exclaim: “thank God, the task is done.” I rejoice with you Gentlemen,—but greet you with no ordinary (‘motions; for in this greeting I see embod- ied another less joyful expression of mutual feelings,—T mean the enunciation of “ Farewell.” You are now in a transitory state; you leave the 4 past and enter the future. Moved by the inspiration of such an hour, and by the solemnity of such an occasion, it will not seem strange in one, who has so frequently addressed you, to cast a glance upon your past career as students, and to discuss the duties awaiting you. What have you done ] What have you accomplished ] You came to our institution by your own selection, not influenced by vague promises, nor by the assurance that a Diploma would be guaranteed to you. Yoil knew that what you will receive in a very short time, would not be a gift nor a purchase, but a hard earned reward. You were aware that the Hahnemann Medical College, before bestowing its honors upon you, would demand evidences of proficiency. You came, not out of mercenary mo- tives, still you came,—and why] Was it not to learn] Gentlemen, if the Faculty, which on this occasion ad- dresses itself to you through me, could suspect any other motive, parting with you would be a source of joy, instead of grief. Since you came to learn, it is not out of place to say, that your examination has proved that you have learned. Your attention to the course has elicited the liveliest pleasure on the part of your teachers. By this conduct you have won the esteem of your Faculty, and given them the pleasing hope, that with a zealous and success- ful cultivation of Science, your future will be brilliant. I am thankful to my colleagues for this opportunity of declaring, that you have developed the spirit which we strived to raise in you—the spirit which since the foundation pf this College has been its guiding principle, and which will, by your aid, enable it to reach the high- est attainable point of perfection. 5 This principle upon which we have acted, is : that a scientific attainment of (he adherent* of Homoeopathy, is the only sure method to convince those who are at variance with our opinions, that (mr Jaw is true, just and logical, AVI len scientific men become the representatives of a doctrine, charlatans cannot conch under its wings. Homoeopathy is more than what the vulgar believe, and imposters assert, namely, that diseases. “ have each their record with the cure affixed,” and that medicine consists in discovering a symptom and prescribing its remedy, already ascertained and handed down from the experience of others. Neither can the man with a book in hand and nothing tn his head,—nor a so-called walking repertory, be styled a scientific practitioner, because when he finds a symptom of the disease, represented by its similar in some proven drug, he prescribes it, not knowing why. That like cures like, any empiric can proclaim to his fellow men—well for him if his opinions are swallowed like his pills,—without question, for though he may himself believe what he declares, it might sorely puzzle him to give the true reason, why he should hold that be- lief. Gentlemen, true Homoeopathy admits none such to its ranks; investigation and research are its commands, —it is the exercise of judgment, the practice of scien- tific laws, the medical representative of an advancing age. Were our system of medicine not of this character, it would, instead of ranking with the noblest of sciences, fall below the meanest of arts, and your long laborious studies, by which you have prepared yourselves for the 6 exercise of your profession, would be unnecessary; the cultivation of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology use- less. But you have appreciated these necessities, and by accepting- the spirit of the institution, you have truly learned, thereby fulfilling your Collegiate duties. Let us now take a view of your duties and responsi- bilities as physicians. From this day you are travelers on the road of Med- ical Science, and as such you must remember, that the labors of the past, cannot and dare not cease; take heed lest you stumble; look well to the landmarks put up for your guidance by former travelers on this great high- way ; throw the light of science over dark places, and endeavor to remove stumbling blocks ; never walk around them. Your mission is to relieve suffering humanity, there- fore it is your duty to endeavor to be prepared with re- lief for all cases. At the present period the utmost activity pervades the science of medicine; it rapidly hastens to its completion. No department is left unexplored. Facts are rapidly de- veloped, tested and established by positive and reiterated observations and experiments. More than 3000 years have witnessed the progress of medicine; yet, you per- ceive gentlemen, that it has not reached that perfection as a science, so indispensable to its completion as an art. Press on then graduates; the experience of the past 3000 years is at your service; science in its present high state of development is at your command; the glorious future is open to you. Therefore let not simple results in practice, whether good or bad, satisfy you, but when 7 good, draw your logical inferences, and proclaim the attained conclusions to your professional brethren, when bad let your busy scalpel and your chemical tests con- vince you wherein you have erred, so that each failure may be a lesson, and each success a mite given to the ' storehouse of medical literature. Let me warn you not to fall into the egotistical error of burying with yourself what belongs to the profession. Remember, the profes- sion have, by their recorded experience, enabled you to be what you are, and you must return the favor by add- ing what discoveries you may now be able to make. Prepare then, gentlemen, for the great responsibilities which await you, by continued industry, and persistent efforts to make your mark in the profession of your choice. Ever aspire higher, and keep steadily in view an honorable elevation. Be ambitious, seek eminence and renown, and remember—“ nothing ventured,— nothing gained.” While striving to arrive at the high point of your as- pirations, 1 pray you not to forget that the road thereto, is no imperial highway to an enchanting object. You must not expect gold and treasures for your services,— in fact the desideratum is too precious to be purchased. The path is rugged, and the vicissitudes which await you of such a nature, that unless a high moral tone characterize your professional intercourse, you will in- evitably fail. Be, therefore, truthful, moral, dutiful and dignified. Let not indelicate jests and a loose bearing be the key by which you seek to gain the confidence of those you have in charge; these tricks belong to char- latanism, and are unbecoming an honorable practitioner. Maintain a right position in your intercourse with 8 the community. Be kind to the sick, especially the sick poor, and give to their suffering all your sympathy. Be courteous, generous and scrupulously honorable in the delicate department which relates to the gentler sex. Woman is at all times deserving of our sympathy, for she is the one who has most of this life’s burden to carry. Think of your own mother, and your veneration and love for her will compel you to treat woman with the respect which her essential traits, her love, purity and self-sacrifice command. Much of your success will depend upon the confidence which your patients can bestow upon you; this you must seek to win. In order to gain it, you must as soon as possible understand the nature of your patient’s af- fliction. Be sure of your diagnosis, ready to answer any question unevasively, and always prepared to give temporary relief in the sick chamber. I tell you, gen- tlemen, the intelligent patient can quickly tell by the slightest appearance of uncertainty on your countenance that you do not understand the case. When you are sure of your point, then be firm and positive in your orders, and let the patient understand, that as you are held accountable for his or her life, you must be strictly obeyed. Do not, however, let professional authority lead you to unkindness. Many patients are by the nature of their disease, or through their natural character, men- tally so excitable, that unless the utmost caution and tact are used, and sufficient tenderness and indulgence exercised towards the weaknesses and failings which are incident to the malady, you will lose the confidence of 9 your patient, and materially aggravate the eondition of the sufferer. While you ask obedience from the patient, see that you are attentive to your own duties. Visit the sick as often as the nature of the case requires; and although T discourage unrequited professional services, my con- science dictates to me, to admonish you, rather to make a gratuitous visit to the indigent, than to let your pa- tient suffer either in reality, or by depriving him of that satisfaction and consolation which your presence might furnish. The cheerful consoling face of the physician shines in the sick chamber like the bright morning sun after a stormy night. It frequently happens that when the confidence of your patient is won, you are looked upon as his friend, and as such may often he entrusted with the secrets of himself and family; guard these confidences as sacred treasures; do not divulge the nature of your patient’s illness to others, the feeling of many in this respect is such, that they would be deeply mortified by having the history of their ailments made known. It is further your duty to guard the health of your fellow-citizens, and to protect the law by being ready to give medical counsel to the public functionaries, when required, in regard to matters at court, or for the judi- cious exercise of hygienic regulations. Gentlemen, may the admonishing you to observe these duties, which you owe not only to the public, hut also to your own self-respect, cause you strictly to exe- cute them. Believe me, such duties conscientiously performed, will lead you to ultimate success. But this is not all. In order to be recognized by the 10 profession as their equal, you have obligations to fulfill towards them, without which the enviable position of a recognized member is lost. These obligations are few, but they are binding, as well as honorable, and should never be overlooked. Never draw the attention of the public to yourselves by issuing private circulars, or resorting to public adver- tisements, promising cures, or inviting those afflicted with particular diseases to engage your services. No physi- cian of standing resorts to such means to gain practice. Never encourage patented apparatus, instruments or nostrums. God’s benevolence in gifting man with rea- son to invent media for relieving suffering is universal, and man should not appropriate it for mercenary purposes. Never degrade yourself, nor the profession by intemper- ance or immorality. Give your assistance cheerfully to a professional bro- ther, be it to prescribe for himself, or for his patients. Be liberal to others, for all men have an unquestiona- ble right to freedom of opinion. The observance of these rules will aid in keeping you in the high estimation of your professional brethren, who will be more ready to lend you a helping hand in case of need. Unity of spirit among us is necessary for the advancement of our science. Gentlemen, I have a personal abhorrence to valedic- tory addresses which have no other object than the ex- altation of a certain system taught, or the advertisement of the institution represented by the valedictorian. Therefore, do not mistake my motive when I bring before you one more duty, that of constant affection for your Alma Mater. As you love your parents who edu- 11 cated you morally, so love the college which has edu- cated you medically. By uniting your future interests with those of your college, you not only assist in its aggrandizement and permanency, but help others in acquiring the knowledge which you have found so useful to yourselves. There arc? two ways in which you can materially aid in increasing the usefulness of the institution; first, by the enlargement of our museum; and secondly, by in- creasing the facilities for clinical instruction. The first object is attained by sending such specimens of interest, either pathological or otherwise, which will assist your successors in their practical studies. A spe- cimen placed in the museum is of more benefit to the profession than when in your office. The second is reached only by your personal efforts among your friends, to place the Hospital in a position of self-support. Material aid in this direction will cause the donor’s name to be gratefully remembered by those who will reap the benefits of his benevolence. With these few points of advice, which are truly given in a spirit of friendly admonition, I might close these my last official words to you; but when I look about me, and see by this numerous assemblage, how many friends you have, and the interest they take in your fu- ture welfare, I feel that you gentlemen would like to say a word to them—allow me to speak for you: Ladies and Gentlemen : In behalf of our mutual friends here, for whose sake you have had the kindness to favor us with your pre- sence, we ask of you to give them your confidence. 12 After much labor and industry, they claim as a reward, a just appreciation of their qualifications as practitioners, hoping that you will discriminate between them as men of science, and others who may be mere empiricists. Give them your support in affairs pertaining to their future success. When a young physician is summoned to the bedside of the sick, a feeling of the great and personal responsibility in the case, may cause him to approach with an air of timidity; do not mistake this for ignorance or inefficiency; it is a fearful thing to know that a human life is in your hands, and the con- scientious physician can never lose this feeling. An air of self-confidence is not always indicative of proficiency or infallibility. Many a young physician often discovers by careful deliberation in forming an opinion, what one more accustomed to practice at the bedside may over- look by hasty decision and over confidence. We would further ask you to show to them that con- sideration, which the arduous labors of our profession deserve; do not by unreasonable or unnecessary calls overtax their power, and thereby sacrifice their health and strength; allow them rest when their services are not absolutely needed, and do not forget that physicians, like other men, have some claim to the proper exercise of the third commandment. In connection with these remarks, it may not be out of place to allude to a habit somewhat prevalent, of changing physicians, particularly when young, for light reasons. Having once selected a physician, and after being convinced of his ability and skill, you must re- member that one who has become acquainted with the constitutional dispositions of the family, will be more 13 able to render positive assistance than a stranger. A man cannot be expected to cure always and everything, therefore let not occasional failures determine you to withdraw your support from one whom you have been regarding as your friend and adviser. And now, GENTLEMEN OF THE GRADUAT- ING CLASS, the time has arrived to deliver to you the legal document which entitles you to the rights of a practitioner, but which also severs our connection as teachers and scholars. We proclaim publicly that you are now our profes- sional brethren, and as such, are henceforth associated with us in the divine privilege of working in our field of usefulness and blessing. Do not think that because in a short time you may be far from us, you will be forgotten, nor that our relations cease. W e can, and will still work together with all our energies, and 1 hope to see you all here again soon, as members of that glorious association, the American Institute of Homoeopathy. Until we meet again, I bid you in the name of the Faculty, an earnest and affectionate farewell. May God’s blessing be with you, and give potency to your endeavors, and in times of difficulty may Ilis aid never fail you. Once more farewell,—with my warmest and most sin- cere wishes, that wherever your lot may be cast, profes- sional success and individual happiness may accompany you. 14 LIST OF GRADUATES, MARCH 10th, 1871.
