Picking up Galen: James Joyce in Cecilia Street.
James Joyce (1882-1941) registered as a student of the Catholic University Medical School, Cecilia Street, in 1902. His attendance in November was brief; by early December, Joyce was in Paris. A recently-acquired Guide for Medical Students, a booklet compiled by Ambrose Birmingham, dean of the Cecilia Street school, sheds light on this hitherto obscure episode.
