Abstract

The article discusses Professor Septimus Sisson's views on the relationship between teaching and research in veterinary education, emphasizing that effective educators are often those engaged in active research. Sisson's insights, presented at the 1911 American Veterinary Medical Association meeting, highlight the importance of research in invigorating teaching practices. The ongoing debate regarding the necessity of research in veterinary colleges is illustrated through commentary from former University of Pennsylvania dean Robert R. Marshak, who critiques the rise of anti-intellectualism in veterinary education. The article also notes the rapid evolution of medical knowledge, underscoring the need for educators to stay current through research to effectively prepare students for clinical practice.
