Letter to George Dock from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Explains that he will not send him a copy of his Remsen letter, as he specifically stated that it was a family affair, only for the Faculty. He agrees with the idea of having a few men at Research Institutes, Cole at the Rockefeller for example, but dreads having a class of clinicians growing up out of touch. To have a whole Faculty made up of Halsted's type of men would be a very good thing for science, but a very bad thing for the profession. Announces that he will lecture on "the Evolution of Modern Medicine" at Yale next Autumn. Will try to visit him in St. Louis though it is doubtful he can. Civilities.
