Abstract
THE Charles' (Bohemian) University of Prague lost on August 11, at the relatively early age of fifty-eight years, one of its most eminent professors, namely, Prof. O. Kukula, professor of surgery, director of the first surgical clinic, and at the same time Rector Magnificus of the University. Prof. Kukula's clinic was equipped in the most modern way, and he was in close touch with internal chemical as well as biological methods of investigation, so that his chair was a model of its kind. As a surgeon he was unsurpassed, being able to carry out surgical operations of the most difficult and delicate kind with the greatest ease and calm. He not only studied all known good methods of operation, but also introduced many new and the most difficult ones, and he was well known for this in scientific circles abroad as well as at home.
