In his biographical notes, [[John Collins Warren (surgeon, born 1842)|John Collins Warren Jr.]] wrote, "No occurrences in the course of my life have given me more trouble and anxiety than the procuring of subjects for dissection." He continues to tell of the difficulty his father John Warren had finding subjects during the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]]: many soldiers who had died were without relation. These experiences gave [[John Warren (surgeon, born 1753)|John Warren]] the experience he needed to begin his lectures on anatomy in 1781.<ref name=Leypoldt/> His advertisement in the local paper stated the following: "A Course of lectures will be delivered this Winter upon the several Branches of Physick, for the Improvement of all such as are desirous of obtaining medical Knowledge: Those who propose attending, are requested to make Application as soon as possible, as the Course will commence in a few days."
