"Sure enough, young people have the courage to be aggressive!"

When John came out of the restaurant, he was very satisfied, because it didn't take long for Edward to agree to his invitation and decide to go to New York early next year to take up a job.

The conditions John gave were almost impossible for him to refuse.

Start a brand new medical journal with the first three years of manuscripts written entirely by John? Mr. Huntelaar was in charge of the summoning, and all he had to do was do the editing and processing. Taking over the magazine three years later, and helping to set up a new publishing house, sounds like a daunting task, but it's not that difficult, and the future is full of hope and challenges......

……

The next day was John's last "working day" in Europe.

John's lecture was scheduled to begin at half-past nine, but by the time he arrived at the University of London at half-past eight, Liszt was already waiting for him at the gate.

"Good morning, Professor Liszt."

"Haha, good morning John."

The two of them, who were already familiar with each other, shook hands casually and walked into the most famous university in London together. Before the holidays, the old university was bustling with people, and the students were busy rushing to the classrooms.

"According to my estimates, in addition to the teachers and students of the school, there will be at least forty people today!"

As he walked, Liszt smiled confidently: "Although many people are very interested in the antitoxin serum and X-ray you just published, the basic surgical operation techniques and first aid techniques are the things that everyone is most interested in, so there will be many surgeons in London!" ”

"Hmm...... That's a lot of people. ”

After listening to Liszt's words, John nodded in satisfaction.

A meeting of more than 40 people, if it is placed in the later generations, is the level of a training class, and a slightly larger department can recruit so many people. But in London in 1888, that's a remarkable number. If it weren't for the fact that John's recent publication caused another sensation, if it weren't for the fact that he had already established relationships with many surgeons because of the Scalpel Club, if it weren't for the help of Liszt......

I'm afraid that only people from the University of London will be able to participate in this speech.

If you add in the university faculty and students who are interested in surgery, it is likely that the audience of today's lecture will reach more than 100 people. This number was satisfactory enough to make John slightly relieved. After letting go of the last stone in his heart, John quickly turned his attention to the campus of the University of London. In addition to Cambridge and Oxford, the schools he is most interested in in the whole of the United Kingdom are the universities of Edinburgh and London, and he is quite happy to have the opportunity to come this time.

Perhaps seeing that John was interested in the university, Liszt quickly changed the subject and smiled: "The University of London does not take into account the race, religion or political affiliation of students, and it can be said that it is a university that truly adheres to equality, and even passed the relevant regulations a few years ago." Allow women to be enrolled in school and enjoy the same status as men......"

"Really? That's pretty rare. ”

Seeing a female student hurrying by not far away, John raised his eyebrows and said in surprise......

Women entering college is still an extremely rare thing in this era, and the shackles of traditional concepts have made many women who aspire to college lose this opportunity, John's fiancée Anna is the best example. However, in this era, John has been faintly aware of the undercurrent of women's emancipation and rise, such as Emma, who has been rarely contacted in the past two years, and these pioneers have begun to work hard.

Of course. It's going to be a very long and difficult process.

Men will not give up so easily, and they will add one shackle after another to women's independence. Until the outbreak of the world war brought women to the fore of production......

"However, many of the advantages of women are not comparable to those of men."

With a frown, John's thinking habitually diverged.

In the medical schools and hospitals of the future, women will be a very heavy group, not to mention that the enrollment of nursing majors exceeds that of clinical nursing majors, and even the number of female students in some clinical schools exceeds the number of male students. Feminine attentive characteristics and delicate feelings. It makes them seem to be more suitable for certain professions and disciplines, such as pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, etc.

Subconsciously, John was already thinking about admissions at his school.

After several big names joined, the construction of the medical school really entered the preparatory stage, and the main force was Osler. For this medical scientist and educator who has a high historical evaluation. John was of course very trusting, and with the help of Ehrlich, Kelly, and Thomas, he was able to provide ideas that were ahead of his time from time to time, and three years later...... No, it should be said that in two and a half years, the establishment of the Huntelaar Medical College will be a matter of course.

It was two years earlier than Hopkins, who enrolled in 1893.

It's just that even if he is as confident as John, he didn't expect the reputation of the newly established medical school to reach any level, and it took ten years to produce several batches of graduates, and then wait for them to shine, which is a good development plan. Whether or not to enroll the other half of the world has always been a serious question for John......

"Haha, we're here."

Just as John was seriously pondering whether to start recruiting female physicians from the first session, Liszt's voice woke him up from his contemplation.

The auditorium of the University of London, right in front of you.

It was not yet nine o'clock, and there was still more than half an hour before the start of the speech, but when John and Liszt entered the auditorium, they were surprised to find that it was already very lively. More than 20 surgeons, including some old friends, have already arrived at the venue in advance, and more than 30 people from the University of London have already arrived!

With a capacity of nearly 60 people, the small auditorium is quite lively.

"Look, Mr. Huntelaar and Mr. Liszt have arrived!"

Seeing the two doctors screaming, the whole auditorium immediately quieted down quickly, and then many acquaintances stepped forward one after another and greeted the two warmly. Liszt's popularity in England is now growing, and his connections, who will be president of the Royal Society in a few years, are naturally quite impressive. Huntelaal's name has been reported frequently in recent times, especially the news of X-rays and diphtheria antitoxin serum has caused a sensation almost all over Europe, so the two immediately became the focus of attention as soon as they arrived.

And as more and more doctors arrived, John never stopped talking.

It wasn't until nearly half past nine that Liszt stepped up to the podium, clapped his palms and said loudly: "Gentlemen, please be quiet for a while, be quiet!" ”

As Liszt spoke, the auditorium fell silent.

In the face of everyone's attention, Liszt coughed lightly twice, and then said with a smile: "Gentlemen, we are honored to have John today?" Mr. Huntelaar, come and give us a lecture on surgery......" (to be continued......
