I wonder how many men remember Tom Waterhouse Crabbe, student of medicine in this city. He was the man whom it was not easy to forget if you had once come across him. There was a bold originality in his thought, and the convincing earnestness in his mode of expressing it, which pointed to something higher than mere cleverness. He studied spasmodically and irregularly, yet he was one of the first men - certainly the most independent thinker of his year. Poor Crabbe - there was something delightfully original even in his mistakes. I can remember how he laboriously explained to his examiner that the Spanish fly grew in Spain. And how he gave five drops of Sabin oil credit for producing that state which it is usually believed to rectify.
