his health suddenly broke down in 1858, when with his wife he 
went to Europe and passed a year in travel, going also to Egypt 
and ascending the Nile to Thebes. On his return in the autumn 
of 1859, he became Professor of Practice of Medicine in the Medi- 
cal Department of Pennsylvania College, succeeding the brilliant 
Dr. Alfred Stillé, who was then elected to the University of Penn- 
sylvania. But owing to the outbreak of the War of Rebellion in 
1861, which cut off the supply of Southern students, he in com- 
mon with the other members of the Faculty withdrew. He was 
Attending Physician to the Protestant Episcopal Hospital, 1860-62 ; 
to the Magdalen Asylum, 1849-64, and Consulting Physician to 
the Women’s Hospital, 1868-76. He was also elected, after a con- 
cours with two competitors, Professor of Anatomy, Physiology 
and Natural History at the Philadelphia Central High School in 
1862; Professor of Physiology and Hygiene at Pennsylvania Col- 
lege of Dental Surgery in 1866; Professor of Diseases of Chil- 
dren, afterward of Physiology and Hygiene and of Diseases of 
Children at Women’s Medical College, 1867-76. He also became 
Professor of Organic Science and Philosophy at his Alma Mater, 
Haverford College, in 1868, leaving the High School and Dental 
College, but retaining his University and Women’s College appoint- 
ments for eight years more. He was also editor of Lhe Friends’ 
Review, a religious journal of a high order, from 1873-76, and 
again from 1881 to 1893. He was also in 1872-73, for a few 
months, Professor of Natural Science at Girard College. But in 
the autumn of 1876 he resigned all of his Philadelphia appoint- 
ments to become the President of Howland School, Union Springs, 
N. Y., an institution for the higher education of women (a cause 
which enlisted his deepest sympathies), striving to do for it what 
Arnold did for Rugby. 
The Howland School, however, was not a success, owing to 
insufficiency of an endowment fund, so that it was closed by the 
trustees in 1878; when Prof. Hartshorne returned to Philadelphia, 
settling in Germantown and opening a family school for girls, and 
continuing the work begun at Howland School. He was reap- 
pointed to the chair of Philosophy at Haverford in 1887, but 
resigned soon after on account of inconvenience in the conditions 
of fulfilling his appointment. |
