Title A name given to the resource Reminiscences Subject The topic of the resource Harvard Medical School Worcester, Alfred, 1855-1951 Typescripts Reminiscences Description An account of the resource At the time of his death, Dr. Alfred Worcester—a member of the Harvard College Class of 1878—was the University’s oldest living graduate. He was also an 1883 graduate of the Medical School. In the 1940s, Dr. Worcester composed his autobiographical memoirs, including this chapter on his experiences during the early 1880s. At that period, the required course of study was still only three years, and the school was housed in the “glum, poorly lighted, badly ventilated, over-crowded building” on North Grove Street. The students faced other difficulties too. Dr. Worcester wrote, “In those years corpses or stiffs as we called them, were so scarce that the students were always behind their schedule for dissecting. This they should have done in their first year, but now in their second year I had caught up with some of them. As in the daytime the tables were so fully in use by first year students we had to do our dissecting by feeble gas lights at night. As that was before corpses were embalmed, the stench was terrible.” Abstract A summary of the resource.
