Hawkins Kresge Hearing Research Institute, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., USA Students of the ear are forever indebted to Magnus Gustaf Retzius for his monograph Das Gehörorgan der Wirbelthiere. The Swedish anatomist and man of letters (fig. 1) was born in Stockholm in 1842, the son of the ana- tomist and anthropologist Anders Adolph Retzius and Emilia Sophia Wahlberg. He received his elementary edu- cation (1848–1857) in Latin, Greek, German, French, history, and catechism, to which were added English, Swedish literature, religion, and natural history, at Stock- holm’s grammar school (1857–1860). In 1860, the year of his father’s death from iatrogenic poisoning by mercury used in treating his ileus, young Retzius passed his ‘stu- dent examen’ one year early and entered the university at Uppsala. Travels for scientific studies took him to En- gland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, France, Finland and Russia. His medical education, however, was mainly at Stockholm, where he received the preliminary qualifying degrees of med. kand. (1866) and med. lic. (1869), and at Lund, where he received his med. dr. in Fig. 1. Photo of
