Lecture notes

Dr. John George Metcalf of Mendon attended Harvard Medical School and used this notebook during the lectures of Drs. John Collins Warren, Jacob Bigelow, and Walter Channing. The notebook also served as Metcalf’s diary, and his account of life at Harvard during the winter of 1825-1826 remains one of the earliest descriptions of the life and trials of the medical student.
