Abstract
AN investigator whose enthusiasm in the pursuit of knowledge never waned; a man who never wavered from the high standards of work and conduct which he set for himself in youth, and whose qualities of mind and heart endeared him to all; a teacher who always gave of his best: such was Graham Lusk. As such he will be greatly missed in many centres by a multitude of colleagues, friends, and pupils. From the beginning of his adult life to its end—for more than forty years—he devoted himself to the study of the problems of animal metabolism and nutrition. His first paper, published in 1889, dealt with human diabetes, and his last, in 1931, was concerned with the influence of the thyroid upon phloridzin diabetes in the dog. Lusk himself found pleasure in remembering that in 1871 a paper of his father's upon diabetes was published, so that in each decennium for sixty years articles on that subject bore the family name.
