M.I).. iif .Surgery in the L ' nix-crsity of 11 Ru.sh Medical College, died Chicago, of chronic myocarditis 111 ililitatuni of the heart, January 2, 1908. He was lidni in Buchs, Cautin Yall, Mtzerlanil. ()( toiler ,i 1 , 1844, and came to IS rountrv ni l.S.si. with his parents. From c beginning of his practice in 1874 he spent uch time in experimental work and his con- ihutions to surgical science, embodied in a ng series of monographs, mark an epoch the histor - of American surgery, not for their intrinsic value, but because ev inspired many young men to take up in- stigation along similar lines. In large part ■- enduring fame will rest on the fact that was the fiaiiuler of experimental surgery . merira. He became [inifessor of surgery in the Col- e of Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago, in 1,SS4. professor of the principles of surgery in Rush Medical College in 1888, and professor of the principles and practice of surgery, in the same institution, in 1892, on the death ■)f Professor Parks. At this time he removed to Chicago, and began that remarkable series of clinical lectures which attracted students and prac titioners from all parts of the world. It was his constant habit to work from sixteen to eighteen hours a day throughout his life. His clinics, conducted after an arduous forenoon of operating on private patients at the St. Joseph ' s Hospital, usually extended from 2 o ' clock in the afternoon until 7 or 8 in the evening, five or six hours of continuous operating and lec- turing. The evenings far into the night and early morning were devoted to experi- menting and writing, and the fruit of this unremitting toil, in addition to numerous papers and addresses, was some twenty volumes on surgical subjects. Dr. Senn was especially interested in military surgery, rendered invaluable service to his country in the Spanish-American war, founded the American Association of Military Surgeons, and at least two state associations of similar character, was surgeon- general ' of the State of Wisconsin and later of Illinois. He gave nearly $100,000 to Rush Medical College, a magnificent collection of medical books to the Newberry Library, and many lesser gifts to other institutions. He had been president of the American Medical Association, of the . merican Surgical Association, the American Association of Military Surgeons, and several other state and local societies. He was a member of numerous medical and scientific bodies throughout the world. Lie was elected Professor of Surgery in the LTniversity of Chi- cago in 1905. Master surgeon, wise physician, great teacher, brilliant and fruitful investigator, prolific and fun eful writer, extensive and observing traveler, generous benefactor to medical institutions — few men in its history have reflected so great honor upon the medical profession or attained such ilistinction as Nicholas Senn.

Prnfrasnr i nurtrh Masrhkr I- or the hrst time in the sixteen years of its history the Department of Mathe- matics is called upon to mourn the loss by death of a member of its facult3 Ten days before his departure, Professor Alaschke would have been considered the one least likely to be summoned. He had been in robust health, and was in the prime of his usefulness, when he was sud- denly called upon to make a choice which would likel} ' end his life at once, hut which might save it. ' ith great courage and remarkable composure he met the crisis and succumbed to the ine ' ital3le. Professor Maschke was horn in I ' .res- lau. Germany, in 1833. I lis university training was in Breslau, Heidelberg, lier- lin and Gottingen. After receiving the doctor ' s degree in Gottingen in 1880, he taught for ten years in Suisenstadisehe Gymnasium of Berlin, and with the open- ing of the University of Chicago in 1892, he became Assistant Professor of Mathe- matics in the new institution. In 1896 he was promoted to the rai ciate Professor, and in 1906, to the full professorship. Profess, was well known both in this country and abroad as a scholar of h . the line of his chosen specialty, and his contributions to scientific literature are numerous and constructively effective. A certain personal charm endeared Professor Maschke to his students, his colleagues and his friends. This cannot be adequately described in a few words, but here are some of the elements which entered into his unique per- .,1 . sso- .Masehke li rank in sonality: — A genuine courtesy which led him always to and feelings of others; a keen sympathy which led liin standpoint of another, whether a student in difficult}- or ; posite side of the question; an artistic sense, manifestefl ii and his appreciation of the beautiful in whatever form ; a ik tific spirit, which led him to be satisfied with nothing sh highest endeavor in whatever occupied lii to his friends and especially to his chose isider the rights a oreciate the illege on the op- his best and ition ; and finally a devotion mate which was beautiful in its simplicity and its sincerity.
