Century Memorial

Dr. Graham Lusk was one of the foremost among the biologists and physiologists of our time who contributed to the period’s extraordinary advance in medical diagnosis. His investigation and experiment blazed the way in an astonishing number of previously untrodden paths, but he has also been described as the strongest connecting link between present-day pathology and the best that was produced by the scientific laboratories of older times. Individually Dr. Lusk was a cheerful, buoyant personality, blessed with a sense of humor, a spirit of hospitality and excellent capacity, despite his handicap of deafness, for conversation and effective public speech. Possibly no man of his profession has contributed more to promote, through personal aid and encouragement, the achievement in his field of work by younger investigators.
