From 1906 until 1916 he taught physiology at the Harvard Medical School, and in later years of the period he also taught at Harvard College. In 1910 he became Assistant Professor of Physiology in Harvard University. In 1916 he was appointed Professor and head of the Department of Physiology at Stanford University.
