Abstract
PROF. ARCHIBALD YOUNG, who died in Glasgow on July 24 at the age of sixty-five years, had held the regius professorship of surgery in the University of Glasgow since 1924, when he succeeded Sir William Macewen. He had come under the influence of his predecessor, and this partly accounted for his leaning towards the surgery of the nervous system, to which he had regularly contributed since his service in the South African War. Moreover, this choice of speciality was natural in one whose clinical inclinations were coloured by the minutest examinations of clinical cases.
