Edward Stevens - Tumblr Posts
Some of my Hamilton sketches.
i was brushing up on edward stevens, who after graduating from king's college in 1774, went to the university of edinburgh - i heard that it was considered the best medical school of its time?
now, we know that neddy would refer to hamilton as "my Dr. Hamilton" (as seen in this lovely 1777 pls text me back letter he wrote from edinburgh) and that hamilton took anatomy-related classes at king's college. clearly they were both interested in medicine.
if anyone has a theory, please answer: if the war had not broken out, would hamilton have eventually gone to edinburgh like neddy to get a medical degree? i know that he only got 4 years tuition worth of money from his st. croix benefactors for his college degree, but after he graduated, did they plan to help him further? if i'm not mistaken, they wanted him to come back eventually as a doctor or lawyer.
going further, if hamilton had expected to go to the university of edinburgh, do y'all think he was thinking about his scottish relations? would he have potentially connected with his uncle? it's very intriguing to me, seeing as he was apparently initially against revolution and a scottish somewhat noble family would've most likely being immensely loyal to britain, right? in other words, if he went to king's college just a few years earlier (maybe graduated even earlier than 1774 since he wanted an accelerated course) and had gone to edinburgh with neddy - saw war coming - would he potentially have been...a british soldier?
nobody talk to me spotify shuffled my playlist and played "seven", the ultimate alexander and edward stevens song. i'm in my dr. ham & dr. neddy feels rn ðŸ˜
And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted Your dad is always mad and that must be why And I think you should come live with Me and we can be pirates Then you won't have to cry Or hide in the closet And just like a folk song Our love will be passed on Please picture me In the weeds Before I learned civility I used to scream ferociously Any time I wanted I, I Sweet tea in the summer Cross my heart, won't tell no other And though I can't recall your face I still got love for you
Or have you forgotten those Vows of eternal Friendship, which we have so often mutually exchanged? I am perfectly at a Loss I assure you, my Dr: Hamilton, to account for your Silence.
What I like to think happened at some point lmao
