ABSTRACT PROF. IVAN P. PAVLOV, who died on February 27, was by common consent the doyen of physiologists. This position he achieved by reason of his great age, his great distinction, and his
great vitality. His age was such he celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday in 1934 that few living workers in Great Britain even came within measurable distance of being his contemporaries,
whilst to most, Pavlov's early working years appeared to go back into a distant past. Yet even apart from that, Pavlov was to English workers a somewhat remote figure until within the
post-War period. This perhaps was because he was not a particularly good linguist: he spoke German and had worked in Germany, but he was never at home in English. ARTICLE PDF ENJOYING OUR
