Abstract
DR. DANIEL HANSON, who was killed climbing in Switzerland on July 25 when acting as a leader at an instructional meet of the Alpine Club, was the son of Prof. Daniel Hanson, professor of Metallurgy in the University of Birmingham. He was educated at Shrewsbury and the University of Birmingham, where at the time of his death he was a research fellow in the Department of Anatomy. Hanson was a brilliant student with wide intellectual interests. In 1945 he won the Chancellor's Essay Prize in competition with undergraduates from all faculties, a unique distinction for a medical student in his University. His medical education was undertaken as a preliminary to research into problems of human behaviour.
