Excerpt from Zoology for Medical Students
This volume represents in book form the Lecture course in Zoology for medical students as it has evolved during recent years in the University of Glasgow.
The task of designing and conducting a course in Zoology that will play its proper part in the education of the graduate in medicine is no light one. It is made immensely heavier by certain conditioning factors, above all in the case of our Scottish universities, by the compulsory limitation of the course within a period of ten weeks. This renders it necessary for the teacher to confine himself rigidly to those parts of the subject which can really justify the expenditure upon them of the necessary time from the short period available.
In deciding what portions of the vast science of Zoology satisfy this condition, the teacher has to be guided by certain governing principles. Above all he must have clearly defined in his mind what he regards as the main objects of his course. So far as the present writer is concerned he has kept before him three objects which he believes to be of pre eminent importance.
I. To awaken and develop, so far as the animal kingdom is concerned, interest in biological science. Medical students are training themselves to be efficient practitioners of a particular department of applied biology. It is of vital importance that they should become inspired at the earliest possible stage in their curriculum with a living interest in the study of the animal body. One of the first endeavours then of the teacher of Zoology should be to cast over the minds of his pupils some of the fascination of the most fascinating of sciences, so that they may pass on their way quickened and inspired by the stimulus of its interest.
