Chapter 32 Gifts
ββ¦β¦ It's a great honor to partner with Hopkins! β
Holding Welch's right hand firmly, John said with a smile: "In terms of details, there are indeed a lot of differences between the two of us, but in terms of school philosophy, I think we should be the same!" Mr. Welch, I think Heinz Medical School and Hopkins Medical School will definitely open up a new situation in medical education in the United States! β
"Hehe, I'm a firm believer in that too."
A slight smile, William? Welch nodded.
Over the past 10 days, Welch and the two giants of Huntelaar Medical College have had a great conversation. But to his surprise, compared to Professor Osler, who he had long been familiar with, this John? Mr. Huntelaar seems to have a deeper understanding of medical education, which is a bit surprising. However, like Professor Osler's ideas, Welch also thinks that some of Mr. Huntelaar's ideas are too radical and will inevitably pay a great price if they are to be applied immediatelyβat least in monetary terms, and Hopkins is certainly unlikely to follow up.
This visit to Heinz Medical College, Mr. Welch has a deep experience.
The laboratories of medical school, for example, were too luxurious even for Hopkins, who had invested so much. Expensive microscopes are like no money, each laboratory has enough configuration, and even those students who have only been enrolled for a little more than a month, Mr. Huntelaar can guarantee that they will have one each! Mr. Welch was sure that Huntelaar Medical School was the only one of its kind in the world of extravagance......
"Woo! Whining! β
Just then, the train's whistle sounded again.
William? Welch turned his head to look, turned around and said with a little regret: "It's a pity, I can't stay in New York for too long, I really want to communicate with the two of you a little more...... Other than that. Mr. Huntelaar, I think Mr. Halstead would be pleased to visit you in New York! β
"Haha, that's what I've been looking forward to!"
The thought of Mr. Halstead, a professor of surgery at Hopkins, made John's heart a little excited.
After a brief conversation with John, Welch turned to look at his old friend Osler, and as the two embraced, Welch whispered in each other's ear, "Congratulations." Old friend, you've found one of the best supporters...... Better than us! β
"Thank you!"
Taking a deep breath, Osler patted the other man's back hard.
If Osler had wondered before coming to New York whether he had been right to abandon Hopkins in favor of Huntelaar, he had stopped thinking about it after so long. For a man like him, there's nothing more comfortable than working under a generous boss who is closely aligned with his own philosophy.
Got on the train with mixed feelings, William? Welch left New York.
He was the founder and first dean of the Hopkins School of Medicine. Stayed at the Huntelaar School of Medicine in New York for a full two weeks. For him, both the hardware facilities and the teaching philosophy of the new school left a deep impression on him, and at the same time brought him a lot of inspiration. Osler and Howard are missing from the Big Four? Kelly, who would definitely have had a huge impact on Hopkins, especially Professor Osler, who introduced the concept of clinical edge, but with this trip to New York, Welch felt that he had learned a lot. I also have a clearer view of the future......
β¦β¦
"If nothing else, Hopkins Medical School should be recruiting students next year."
On the way back with John's hitchhike. Professor Osler smiled slightly.
"Oh? Next year? β
John was slightly stunned at first, and suddenly felt a little surprised in his heart. In his memory, although the Hopkins Hospital had been built, the medical school would not start enrolling students until 1893, so why would it start next year? That's a whole year earlier than the real history!
"Maybe it's trying to catch up with us, right?"
Raised eyebrows. Professor Osler was also a little uncertain. John and Welch have had less contact these days, but Osler himself stayed with this old friend almost every day, and naturally felt the other party's thoughts. To put it bluntly, it is strange that Welch is not in a hurry when he sees the official enrollment of Heinz Medical School, which has the same educational philosophy as his school. It's just that after listening to the narration of an old friend. Professor Osler was a little uneasy: in his opinion, Hopkins was not well prepared, and he was really in a hurry to recruit students next year.
At least compared to Heinz Medical School, Hopkins is far behind.
In terms of time, Hopkins certainly took a little longer to prepare, but Osler was well aware of the essential difference between the two schools! Heinz Medical School has the support of Mr. Huntelaar, a big donor, and the investment in both the school's hardware and faculty is not comparable to that of Hopkins, and the preparation can be completed with quality and quantity regardless of the cost. As for the philosophy of running the school, Osler is the best medical educator of his time, and John has the soul of the future, and the collision of the two causes wonderful chemical changes, and it is not without Hopkins, the leader of Osler, that can be compared.
Comparing the two, Osler naturally sensed that something was wrong.
John also understood what the professor of internal medicine meant, and after a slight groan, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Maybe that's the case, but this is Hopkins' own business after all, and we'd better not interfere!" If you don't think it's appropriate, you can go to Baltimore a few more times at the invitation of Professor Welch, after all, we still have more experience, and we should help a little. β
"Well, that's fine."
After thinking for a moment, Professor Osler nodded earnestly.
This is not the time to cherish the broom, only these two medical schools in the United States have similar teaching philosophies, and they are challenging traditional medical education. Osler understood this, and he believed that Mr. Huntelaar must have understood this, otherwise he would not have offered this suggestion.
In addition to being relieved, Osler naturally remembered Professor Welch's other request, and said with a smile: "Another thing, Hopkins is also very interested in our textbooks, and hopes that we can provide a set." β
"Oh? That's a good thing! β
Hearing Professor Osler say this, John was immediately interested.
Huntelaar Publishing is now planning to publish Sherlock Holmes, and the previous nine books were all in medicine, such as Heinz surgery, anatomy and physiology, and of course the editor-in-chief was our Mr. Huntelaar. The medical textbooks of these years are simple and tear-jerking, and the amount of knowledge is terrifyingly small. For John, the traverser, of course, he wouldn't watch those little guys spend their thoughts easily, so he was ruthless and made nine books by himself. Anyway, there are dry goods in my head, so it's not too easy to sort out and summarize the knowledge of various disciplines in this era, and at the same time add some private goods brought from a hundred years later, and make up a book.
It's a pity that there are still too few people who know the goods in this era.
Except for the slightly more famous foreign science, the other textbooks were published and no one cared about them, and the publishing house lost a lot of money. Only the teachers of the school praised the textbooks and praised them, and the private goods that John carried with them made the professors of various subjects shine, and even many of them couldn't wait to revise their research topics after being inspired. After learning the news, John secretly laughed several times......
Hopkins was willing to use it, but John couldn't help it!
How much money can you make by selling books these days? Not to mention the textbooks priced at tens of cents a piece, even the novels of those great writers priced at several dollars a copy, we Mr. Huntelaar could not have looked at them, and what he valued more was what kind of influence Hopkins would bring if he used his own textbooks.
There is no doubt that Hopkins has great potential.
The leadership of educational philosophy, combined with the established prestige of Hopkins itself, is enough to put the medical school on par with Heinz Medical School in a short period of time, or even win. While John is confident that his school will eventually become a true leader, he can't deny that it would be a great help if Hopkins joined his camp!
So without hesitation, John waved his hand boldly and said, "And how can one set be enough?" I'll tell the publisher to send Professor Welch a set of 10 sets and 8 sets! Not...... Forget it, just send 50 sets over, and make sure that everyone at Hopkins Medical School has one set ......" (To be continued.) )
