Abstract
NEWS has just reached London that several more Czechoslovak professors, displaced when the Germans closed the universities of that country in 1939, have died in concentration camps. They include Prof. V. Dolejšek, Prof. F. Ulrich and Prof. J. Štorkán. Prof. F. Slavík, a mineralogist well known in Britain and now sixty-nine years old, was rescued from Buchenwald by the Allies just in time, and has now been able to travel to Prague. The fate of Prof. F. Záviška, the physicist, is unknown; he has not yet been traced.
