Excerpt from Friedberger Frohner's Veterinary Pathology, Vol. 1 It was not granted to Professor Franz Friedberger, the joint author of this text-book, to live to see the publication of this - the sixth edition of our work. He passed away on December 17th, 1902, at Munich, in his sixty-third year, after a painful illness of many years duration. In him Veterinary Science lost its greatest and best-known exponent. In clinical analysis he was, indeed, without a rival! To this must be added his rare devotion to duty as a teacher, his great scientific individuality, his typical love of truth (refined by his severe selfcriticism) in the prosecution of his investigations and in his manner of offering the results to the public, and, lastly, his aversion, due to his lofty character, to any kind of quackery, self-advertisement, and the advancement of merely specious theories. This rare union of so many eminent qualities at once explains how he came to found his own the Munich school of science, which, with its numerous pupils, continues to flourish and to maintain its influence. Not every master, as we all know, is destined to create his school! To that band of pupils of Friedberger belongs the joint author of this work and the editor of this present new edition. It will be of interest to the readers of this text-book and the friends of the deceased master to hear something as to its origin. In 1880 I took over the post of a clinical assistant at the then Veterinary School of Munich, and was brought into the closest relations with the resident professor, Professor Friedberger, whose methods of instruction and investigation appeared to me worthy of the highest admiration owing to his remarkable perspicuity and his strictly scientific methods. When in 1882 I was called to Stuttgart to take up a professorship there, the first suggestion was made of our publishing a scientific text-book on veterinary pathology. In the spring of 1884, when I had to go to Munich to attend Francks funeral, the plan was definitely settled and the preliminary work taken in hand.
