Abstract
THE School of Physiology in Leipzig was the Mecca that attracted young men from all quarters of the globe to study physiology under that great master, teacher, and experimenter, Carl Ludwig. A steady stream of young, ardent, able, and talented students crossed the Alps from Italy to prosecute research and acquire a knowledge of the methods in use in the Leipzig School. Amongst the earliest of these Transalpine scholars was L. Luciani—happily still amongst us—and a little later came Angelo Mosso, one of the most illustrious of Italian physiologists, whose death at the age of sixty-four the whole, physiological world to-day deplores. He was born on May 31, 1846, in Turin. After studying at his native university—with no advantages of wealth, fortune, or high social position—he, by the exercise of his own high intellectual and brilliant gifts, soon became distinguished amongst his compeers, and he was selected by Moleschott to be his assistant in the university. He also acted as assistant to Prof. M. Schiff in Florence.
