Abstract
THROTIGH the sudden and untimely death, at the age of fifty-three years, of Rudolf Magnus, professed of pharmacology iu the University of Utrecht, the world of science loses one who had for some yeara past been one of the outstanding figures in experimental medicine. At this moment there is Hearing completion in Utrecht, and to be opened this autumn, a fine new Institute of Pharmacology, given by the Rockefeller Foundation with the primary object of widening the opportunity for and increasing the influence of his investigations. These, for some eighteen years past, have issued in an imposing series from the picturesque laboratory which Magnus had evolved, with great ingenuity, from a small monastic plague-hospital. The many who knew and admired him had thought of him carrying on his brilliant work for at least two further decades, and touching a growing circle with his ideas and his enthusiasm, under material conditions at last worthy of his genius.
