Abstract
PAUL REISS, professeur agrégé in the Faculty of Medicine at Strasbourg, was killed at St. Just (Cantal) on June 22, 1944, when helping to evacuate wounded members of the Maquis. He was forty-three years old. Reiss was born at Strasbourg. He was both personally attractive and one of the more brilliant of the younger French biologists. He was a pupil of Fred Viés. His early work was on the relation of pH. and rH. to the physico-chemical equilibria in cells, from which he went on to enzyme studies, and thence to cancer work. He is buried in the crypt of the Sorbonne with others who fell in the Resistance Movement.
