and entered upon the study of law, which
he soon abandoned for medicine. In 1882
he went to Europe TO pursue his studies,
where he spent several years in the hos
pitfalls of Paris and other large cities. On
his return he was chosen professor of
anatomy and physiology in Dartmouth
years, when he was elected to fill the same
chair in Harvard medical school.
Early in life he attracted attention as a
poet, and contributed poems to many
journals and magazines. These poems
have passed through many editions since
they were first collected into book form.
