Harvey Through the Minds of Our Generation

Abstract

From the Oration delivered to the Harveian Society, June, 1961.

"The return of one Harveian Festival recalls from the subconscious a host of feelings to each of us, in the forefront the sense of profound reverence towards one of the Di Immortales of medicine; in little less degree, the sense of pride-national pride-that the unraveller of the enigma of the circulation was British born. For it is not we alone, who, on the day of celebration, stand bareheaded before the perpetual monument; in every school of medicine the world over the same impulse is felt, whatever the outward expression."
