-Bard was a native of Philadelphia who graduated from Columbia College before sailing to Europe in 1761 to complete his medical education. His letters home to his family describe how he attended classes in Institutes of Medicine under [[William Cullen (1710-1790)]], [[Anatomy]] under [[Alexander Monro ''secundus'' (1733-1817)]], [[Botany]] under [[John Hope (1725-1786)]], and [[Physics|Natural Philosophy]] under [[Adam Ferguson (1723-1816)]]. He was particularly impressed by the lecturing style of William Cullen, which he judged both 'instructive' and 'entertaining'. He became a close personal friend of both Monro and Hope, in whose class he won the annual medal for the best collection of plants. Intent on a academical career, and realizing the necessity of a good delivery and easy compositional style, he also took great pleasure in [[Hugh Blair (1718-1800)|Hugh Blair]]'s lectures in Rhetoric and Belles Lettres. Both [[William Robertson (1721-1793)]], then [[Principal]] of the University, and [[George Drummond (1688-1766)]], Lord Provost of Edinburgh, invited him to dine at their homes, and the latter conferred upon Bard the freedom of the city. Bard's thesis, 'De viribus opii', which he successfully defended in May 1765, was on the effect of opium on the human body. It was based on a series of experiments which Bard conducted first on himself then on his room-mate for verification.
