Abstract
THE Lister Institute has sustained a severe loss to its active strength by the sudden death on June 18 of the head of its Biochemical Department, Prof. Robert Robison. He was in his fifty–eighth year. On the previous day he was at work as usual in the Institute and was looking forward eagerly to spending a brief respite from duty at his home in Putney and tending his beautiful garden. Thus has been cut short a career of strenuous endeavour and high accomplishment in biochemistry, which is the poorer for his loss.
