Abstract
THE medical profession has lost a somewhat striking personality by the death of Dr. Arthur Latham at the relatively early age of fifty-six. The son of a former Regius professor of medicine at Cambridge, who still survives, Dr. Latham was brought up in a cultured and scientific atmosphere, while his Oxford degree implied the double advantages of the two older English Universities. He was elected assistant physician to St. George's Hospital in 1898, and there soon showed his ability in teaching and his always masterful and dominating personality. A man of precise logical thought and of great determination, he could ill tolerate indefiniteness of view and indecision, and it is not surprising therefore that he had enemies as well as cordial friends.
