Abstract
PROF. CAMILLO GOLGI, member of the Italian Senate for a number of years, Nobel Prizeman in 1906, died on January 21. Though almost eighty-four years of age, he had preserved until a short time ago the astonishing lucidity of his marvellous mind, and when I saw him last in January 1924 he was still taking part in the public life of his country and scientific activities of the University of Pavia, where he had obtained his medical degree in 1865 and had become extraordinary professor of histology in 1875. Towards the end of that year he went as professor of anatomy to the University of Siena to return a few months afterwards to Pavia, where he occupied the chair of general pathology and histology until 1918, the year of his retirement from active teaching.
