September 1, 1891, was a lackluster day in the history of American education.

A month later, on October 1, the famous Stanford University was about to officially open its doors and welcome his first students. Like Rockefeller, Carnegie and others, the Stanford couple, who had accumulated a huge wealth with Chinese blood and sweat, also invested their main energy and wealth in public welfare in their later years, leaving another side of humanity in the history of American higher education.

But in this world, September 1 is destined to be no longer ordinary.

On the other side of the North American continent, the Heinz School of Medicine officially opened its doors on the morning of that day. There were no grand and elaborate ceremonies, no newspapers like Stanford University had even begun to write about, and John and Osler didn't even invite any of their peers or outsiders to attend. In the auditorium of Heinz Medical College, all the students and some teachers attended the simple opening ceremony.

Eight students, twenty-seven teachers.

In the past, while waiting for the start of the school year, another student gave up his plans to enroll in the school and went to work for a mechanical company. This is indeed a bit disappointing, and at the same time, it has also led to a student-to-faculty ratio of more than 5:1 at Heinz Medical College. You know, there are still many teachers at Heinz Medical School who are going out of the clinic or on the operating table today, and not all of them can attend this opening ceremony.

Such a teacher-student ratio is dazzling and dizzying.

So when all eight students sat down in the audience, and then saw more than twenty teachers walking up to the podium under the introduction of Professor Osler, everyone felt a mountain of pressure - God, eight students had to face more than twenty teachers, and among them there were such celebrities as Mr. Huntelaar, Mr. Osler, and Mr. Ehrlich, and every student felt the weight on their shoulders!

After introducing all the teachers, Osler motioned for everyone to sit down. Then he said aloud: "Gentlemen, let's welcome John, the dean of the Heinz School of Medicine?" Greetings from Mr. Huntelaar! ”

"Whoa......

The loud but warm applause suddenly rang out in the auditorium.

Amid this hopeful applause, Professor Osler stepped back, while John, who was waiting on the sidelines, took a deep breath and walked to the front desk empty-handed!

Soon. The applause stopped.

To be honest, John was a little discouraged before the opening ceremony, especially when he heard yesterday that a student had decided not to come. But at this moment, looking at the faces full of anticipation in the audience, whether it was eight students or more than 20 teachers, John's originally deflated chest was like someone had lit a fire, and suddenly it was burning!

There are only eight students, so what?

Think about the earliest church schools in China in the previous life, which one was not like this when it was first established? A class of ten students graduated at the end of the year. In the end, it will not still become the backbone of China's medical education?

I have money, people, and a head full of knowledge, what is there to be depressed about?

At this moment, John was full of pride!

Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, the first dean of Heinz Medical School, John? Huntelaar waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "Gentlemen, first of all, allow me to congratulate all of you! Whether it is the gentlemen who have just become the first freshmen of Heinz Faculty of Medicine, or the gentlemen who are present as teachers. I want to congratulate you all! Because you are very lucky to be a part of the Heinz School of Medicine......

……

"Today, Heinz Medical School should be open, right?"

Baltimore, not too far from New York. William? Welch sat in his chair in a daze, his mind full of the medical school in New York City that opened today.

People in Baltimore, but Welch is also well aware of the situation at Heinz Medical School.

He was not only a good friend of Professor Osler, but also a good friend of John? Mr. Huntelaar made contact early. John certainly has enough respect for the first dean in the history of Hopkins Medical School, and the two medical schools were founded with the same philosophy. Coming and going is naturally acquainted. So Welch already knew about the opening of the school today, and even the curriculum of Heinz Medical College and the few textbooks that had just been written were in his hands.

Looking at these textbooks, Welch looked forward to visiting New York in a month's time.

It's hard to describe Welch's mood when he saw Huntelaar's edition of medical physics, medical chemistry, or anatomy, physiology, etc., these books actually didn't have much knowledge ahead of his time, and John was very careful to control the speed of knowledge diffusion in his brain. But the content is rigorous. It is closely related to the frontier of medicine, but it is not comparable to other textbooks of the same era. What's more, almost every textbook has a very detailed experimental guide, whether it is physics, chemistry experiments, anatomy, and physiology experiments, the experimental guide gives specific plans.

When he saw this part, Welch was shocked!

Hopkins University has a high regard for medical school, and the amount of money invested is not small, but even so, Welch does not dare to boast that his school has the capital to allow students to complete these experiments. You know, it's not just about one or two microscopes, it's all about all kinds of sophisticated equipment, expensive consumables, and experimental animals, which are very expensive!

"Could it be...... What Professor Osler said is true? ”

Remembering the description of the conditions of Heinz Medical School in the letter from his old friend Professor Osler, and recalling the excitement and expectation that could not help but be revealed between the lines, Welch suddenly became a little uncertain about his original doubts......

……

"Grandpa, your coffee."

Carefully placing the quilt on the desk, Anna respectfully greeted old Huntelaar.

"Oh, Anna."

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, old Huntelaar looked at his granddaughter-in-law. Speaking of which, he is very satisfied with Anna, both in figure and appearance, and his character is also quite good, the only pity is that he has been married to John for so long and has never had children, which makes the older old Huntelaar a little anxious.

But of course old Huntelaar wouldn't tell Anna about this kind of thing, so he smiled and asked, "Today should be the opening day of John's School, right?" ”

"Well, yes."

Anna was slightly stunned and nodded hurriedly.

The start of medical school was almost the most important thing in the family during this time, and John put all his energy into it, no matter how important other things were, such as the soaring stock of the New York Electric Company, the booming sales of the newly commissioned radio and automobiles, etc., every time old Huntelaar brought it up, all he gained was John's "Hmm." "Got it." Wait.

But......

"Why is this so important?"

Anna, who didn't quite understand, gradually became drifting in her eyes......

……

"Head, this issue of the magazine ......"

Looking at Edward, who had been pondering, the short editor asked cautiously.

"Huh?"

Awakened from his contemplation, Edward looked at the stack of papers in front of him, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No problem, you can start printing!" ”

After saying this, the two were relatively silent.

It was supposed to be a very ordinary issue of the journal, but because of Mr. Huntelaar's two papers, the editors of the New Medical Journal were a little uneasy. It's okay for medical journals to publish physics articles, but after these days, they already know what these two papers represent......

……

"The Heinz School of Medicine was never founded to be a member of the mediocrity!"

Unable to help but take his own steps on the stage, John said aloud with a high spirit: "We have the best laboratories in the world, we have top medical professors and lecturers, and we have all the students who have already obtained bachelor's degrees, why can't we be the best?" ”

Standing still, John looked at the audience with burning eyes!

"Gentlemen, we will be the best one! (To be continued.) )
