OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, a witty and brilliant writer of both prose and poetry, was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the 29th of August, 1809. He was educated partly at Phillips Academy, Exeter, and then graduated at Harvard in 1829. After leaving Harvard he spent a year in the study of law, when he abandoned that profession and chose the profession of medicine instead. During the year 1830, while studying law, he contributed a number of witty poems to The Collegian, a periodical published by the undergraduates of Harvard University. In 1833, Holmes visited Europe, residing chiefly in Paris, where he pursued his medical studies. On his return to America, in 1836, he took his medical degree at Harvard University, and two years later became Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at Dartmouth College. He held this position until the time of his marriage, in 1840, when he removed to Boston, and there won much success as a practicing physician. In 1847 he was made Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in Harvard, a post which he has filled with honor ever since. Dr. Holmes has won distinction not only as a professional man, but also as a writer on subjects related to his profession. He is, however, best known to the public by his purely literary productions. His lyrics, such as Old Ironsides, Union and Liberty, Welcome to the Nations |
