Medicine, when fully taught, is usually subdivided into several professorships, but this cannot well be without the accessory of an hospital, where the student can have the benefit of attending clinical lectures & of assisting at operations of surgery. With this accessory, the seat of our university is not yet prepared, either by its population, or by the numbers of poor, who would leave their own houses, and accept of the charities of an hospital. For the present therefore we propose but a single professor for both medicine & anatomy.
I feel like this kind of applies to all subjects and areas not just medicine. Each subject needs a practical venue where skills can be applied and honed with the benefit of being carefully guided when needed to. There is also the experimental benefit of being able to apply ones own creativity to their chosen field. By having a practical venue, one can be prepared, kinda like how the article states.
Additionally, i must note how big of a benefit it is to have a hospital on grounds as we don't need to leave to receive care in emergency. Plus this helps bring the student body together in a sense, because we feel like the hospital was meant for us.

I feel like this statement basically is saying that high school is the in fact the literal precursor to college. High school/ primary school is what lays down the foundation in study skills and habits,etc. My parents often told me to make good habits in high school because it is more difficult to formulate new and improved habits while at college. I wholeheartedly agree.
