He studied in Lafayette college, was graduated at the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1869, and studied medicine in Germany and London. In 1878 he organized a physiological laboratory in the University of Pennsylvania, and lectured for a year on experimental physiology. He was made a fellow in biology at Johns Hopkins in 1878.
