Clifford Dobell (1886–1949) In Memoriam
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
When, on 23 December 1949, Clifford Dobell died as the result of an unheralded cerebral haemorrhage, the world of biological science lost a remarkable figure and this Journal one of the most distinguished of its regular contributors. Dobell's name means much to protistologists all over the world, especially to students of the parasitic Protozoa, who recognize in him a great investigator of the animal microcosm. His contributions to the history of his science, culminating in the famous monograph on Leeu-wenhoek, reveal him also as a man of wide culture and endowed with a sense of the past such as is rare in these days.
