Dr. Cooke's manner as a lecturer was not pleasing; but nevertheless, "it was not many weeks before most of his pupils were so charmed with the simplicity and compendiousness of his theories that homely elocution was forgotten" (Howard A. Kelly, A cyclopedia of American medical biography. Philadelphia, 1912. Vol. I, p. 199). Cooke, active in local religious affairs, took the occasion of this introductory lecture to speak on the relationship of the study of medicine to the Christian religion.
