Due to the fact that Bennett introduced practical classes in the teaching of physiology, he is considered the father of physiological education in medical schools.
In 1901, the University of Edinburgh inaugurated the John Hughes Bennett Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, in homage to one of that galaxy of talent and genius that illuminated Edinburgh in the middle decades of the last century.

Bennett visited Leipzig a second time in 1840-1841, when he composed his Caprice in E for pianoforte and orchestra and his overture The Wood Nymphs.
The principal charm of Bennetts compositions (not to mention his absolute mastery of the musical form) consists in the tenderness of their conception, rising occasionally to sweetest lyrical intensity.
Observations conducted during several months have shown that, whilst the mean temperature at Fort William was 57 F., at the summit of Ben Nevis it was 41 F., and that though the rainfall at the fort amounted to 24 in., it was as much as 43 in.

 Father John Hughes
And just as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism in the late 18th century, had sparked a change in the culture of the English working class that made it unusually industrious and virtuous, so too a clergyman was the catalyst for the cultural change that liberated New York's Irish from their underclass behavior.
Hughes once remarked that "the Catholic Church is a church of discipline," and Father Richard Shaw, Hughes' most recent biographer, believes that the comment gives a glimpse into the inner core of his beliefs.
Hughes and Ives made it clear that these children were the community's responsibility; their own Irish parents--not the nativists or the unfeeling city--had abandoned them to their plight.

And just as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism in the late eighteenth century, had sparked a change in the culture of the English working class that made it unusually industrious and virtuous, so too a clergyman was the catalyst for the cultural change that liberated New York’s Irish from their underclass behavior.
Hughes believed that the relentless barrage of anti-Catholic prejudice that greeted them in their new land was demoralizing the already disadvantaged immigrants and holding back their progress.

 John Meroney on Howard Hughes and The Aviator on National Review Online
Hughes didn't bother with politics for most of his life, but Communism on the RKO Studios lot served as his great awakening to what was happening on the world stage after World War II.
Hughes appreciated the movies as a powerful communication medium and insisted that RKO releases depict the military as peacekeepers and resist ideas being pushed by Communists.
Hughes took Jarrico to court, asking for relief from Jarrico's private demands and arguing that Jarrico's allegiance to the Soviet Union had violated the morals clause of his contract, especially when American troops were fighting the Communists in Korea.

 TCS Daily - John Hughes Was Right
Contrary to John Hughes's formidable film-making sensibilities, teenagers really do not know it all and require some real teaching and a little maturity so that they can get grounded, find what they want out of life -- or at least what they need.
In those John Hughes films, these beautiful, troubled and brilliant teenagers would sit and solve their problems with no adult input, except from some unlikely source -- like the janitor or a homeless guy.
The teachers, administrators and parents are almost always depicted as out-of-touch, dull and even cruel in some cases.

Pasteur's theories were not then widely accepted and Lister's attempts to build on their foundation were scoffed at by contemporary surgeons, unwilling to consider that microscopic elements could significantly affect human life.
"Where are these little beasts?" asked John Hughes Bennett, a contemporary of Lister, and a well-respected professor in Edinburgh.
That question underlies the research at the intersection of science and religion that is sponsored by the Templeton Foundation.
