Abstract
WE regret to record the death on March 16, at sixty years of age, of August von Wassermann in Berlin. He was born in Bamberg, and having studied in Strasbourg, Vienna, and Berlin, early became associated with the Institute for Infectious Diseases under Koch, and it was here that most of his work was done. He ultimately became Director of the Serum department of Koch's Institute, and in 1913 Director of the large Institute of Experimental Therapy of the vast Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaft in Dahlem, Berlin. He was also honorary professor in the University of Berlin and was ennobled in 1910.
