Baltimore, Maryland.

John? The construction site at the Hopkins School of Medicine was filled with tinkling sounds. Due to the requirements of the investor, Hopkins University, the construction of the medical school must be accelerated and completed at least a year ahead of schedule, so the workers have been working hard lately. However, an extra $1.5 per week is enough to make the family's life more comfortable, and no one cares about this hard work.

Among the many scruffy construction workers, a well-dressed gentleman is quite eye-catching.

William? Welch covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, carefully observing the work that the workers had just finished. For Hopkins University School of Medicine, Welch can be said to have put all his energy into it, visiting it in person almost every day, inspecting every process, and accepting every completed work. But just as he nodded in satisfaction and was about to go to another place, a young figure hurriedly ran to his side: "Professor Welch, Mr. Chancellor, please come to his office!" ”

"Mr. Gilman?"

Welch frowned slightly, and was a little puzzled by Mr. Principal's sudden finding of him, but he didn't say anything, and simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over right away!" ”

Hurrying to the principal's office, Welch asked as soon as he entered the door, "Principal Gilman, are you looking for me in a hurry?" ”

"Hehe, sit down first."

Compared with Welch's ups and downs, Mr. Hopkins University's president was much calmer, he smiled slightly, and slowly asked the secretary who entered the room to prepare coffee for Welch, and then walked to Welch and sat down.

"William, take a look at this newspaper first!"

Before Welch could ask again, Principal Germanan handed him a newspaper that had obviously been read over and over again!

"Huh? Newspapers in New York? ”

He glanced at the newspaper as he took it. Welch's brow furrowed immediately, and curiosity swelled up in his heart at the same time. He knew very well that Gilman was a person, and if there was just some interesting or important event, it would be impossible for the other party to call him over to read the newspaper. Thus the deductive method suggests that the newspaper must have published something about itself, or rather of medical school, since the publication of the Englishman's novel Sherlock Holmes last year. Professor Welch is now a big fan of the deductive method.

Leaving aside, Welch followed Gilman's instructions and looked over.

How do you see "Al? Huntelaar Medical School will open in September", Welch didn't react for a while, but was stunned for a moment, and then when he read a third of the advertising article, he finally reacted, and stood up with a swish: "This, this is ...... Mr. Huntelaar's medical school is about to start recruiting students?! ”

For John? The name Huntelaar will be familiar to both Welch and Gilman.

In particular, Welch, who has already confirmed that he will be the dean of the Hopkins School of Medicine, is even more strikingly interested in the name of Huntelaar - Osler and Howard, whom he was going to invite back then? Kelly two. In the end, I went to New York and joined Heinz General Hospital! In order to redeem his defeat, Welch also went to New York to find Professor Osler, whom he valued the most, and tried to use Hopkins's investment in medical school and hospital to redeem him and Kelly, but after Osler took him around Heinz General Hospital and showed him the plan for medical school, Welch silently gave up his original plan......

"yes. School starts in September! ”

Gilman was not surprised by Welch's gaffe, as he reacted the same way when he first saw the news!

After a brief period of excitement. Welch immediately sat down and read the article. It is more appropriate to say that it is an article, in fact, it should be said that it is an advertisement, because in this article, the software and hardware conditions of Heinz Medical School are introduced in detail, as well as the future prospects of graduates. Of course, what attracted Welch the most was the final statement about the admissions criteria: not only to pass the medical school exams, but also to have a bachelor's degree from a European or North American university!

"This ......"

After reading the whole article. Welch immediately became excited, looked at Gilman and said urgently: "Mr. Principal, have you seen the conditions for their admissions?" Oh, God! Professor Osler really did it, and their medical school really only admitted undergraduate graduates, and they gave preference to bachelors in physics and chemistry. This...... It's so exciting! ”

"yes!"

First lit a pipe for himself, Meimei took a puff before Gilman nodded vigorously: "This shows that our plan is not unapproved in the United States, Mr. Huntelaar and they even walked in front of us!" ”

Stimulated by the Heinz School of Medicine, Hopkins has also increased its investment in medical school, intending to complete the project a year earlier than planned, and of course the enrollment will also be a year earlier. Hopkins, who historically began to change medical education in the United States in 1893, will probably officially enroll students next year, in 1892! John, a butterfly that crossed over, instigated its wings, not only changed the history of medical techniques such as surgical disinfection and local anesthesia, but also most likely changed the history of medical education in the United States!

Of course, Heinz Medical School itself is already changing!

After walking around the room several times excitedly, Welch suddenly stood still in place and said, "Principal Gilman, I want to go to New York in October to see Professor Osler's admissions results!" If Heinz Medical School can recruit enough students, it will be of great significance for our school! ”

"No problem, you can go ahead!"

For Welch's request, Mr. Principal naturally agreed without hesitation.

In the history of American higher education, Gilman is a name that must not be ignored. The former president of the University of California is the true soul of Hopkins, and it is he and his followers who have revolutionized American higher education and made Hopkins a banner! It was with his strong support that the Hopkins University School of Medicine became the banner of medical education in the future, and the Flexner report was thoroughly emulated by other medical schools......

And......

Looking at Welch, who was excited, Gilman suddenly smiled and said: "William, Mr. Huntelaar's medical school enrolls students at least one year earlier than us, and the concept of the establishment of the school is so close, I am afraid that it will be a direct competitor in the future!" ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Gilman's words, Welch laughed out loud: "Principal Gilman, I would like to have as many competitors as possible like Mr. Huntelaar......

……

At the beginning of May 1881, the major newspapers in New York began to frequently publish news related to the medical school.

Al? The Huntelaar School of Medicine is about to officially open on September 1 and is currently accepting its first cohort of students across the United States. This would have been a very common piece of news, as it was fairly common for universities to post admissions advertisements in this day and age. It's just that when people saw the admission conditions listed by this medical school with an extremely unfamiliar name, it caused an uproar!

The prerequisite for participating in the entrance examination is that the student must have a regular undergraduate degree!

This made many people scoff after seeing it, after all, when other schools can join at will, you have set such a high threshold, which in itself is unreasonable, not to mention that Heinz Medical School has just been established, and there is not even a single student yet!

But......

In addition to ordinary people, top medical educators in New York and throughout the eastern United States, such as Professor Welch, are looking more closely at Heinz Medical School, watching closely what will happen here in the next four months...... (To be continued.) )
