Abstract
PROF. MAX ASKANAZY, a leading Swiss pathologist, whose death has recently been announced (Schweiz. med. Doct., 70, 1072; 1940), was born at Stallupönen in East Prussia on February 24, 1865. He studied medicine at Königsberg, where he qualified in 1890, and from then until 1895 served as assistant in the Pathological Institute. In 1894 he became lecturer in general pathology, pathological mycology and morbid anatomy, obtaining the title of professor in 1903. Two years later he was appointed professor of general pathology at Geneva. The high esteem in which he was held by his pupils and friends was shown on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday in 1925, when they dedicated to him a Festschrift which formed part of the 254th volume of Virchow's Archiv. His investigations occupied a wide field, but he devoted himself mainly to a study of the hæmopoietic system, animal parasites, and experimental and spontaneous tumours in man. His chief publications were “Dermoid Cysts of the Ovary”(1905), “Bone-marrow”(1927), and “Inflammation”(1929).
