Zinsser (1878-1940) American bacteriologist and professor at Columbia and Harvard Medical School, served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps in WWI and later worked in Russia, China, Persia, Mexico and Japan. Author of "Rats, lice and history." From Weissmann Gerald article "Rats, lice, and Zinsser": "Zinsser followed up with As I Remember Him: The Biography of R.S., a third-person autobiography that survives as a distinguished work of literature. The R.S. in the title is an abbreviation of "Romantic Self," or the last letters, inverted, of Hans Zinsser's first and last names. In it, the author spells out his warm view of medicine as a learned profession: "There is in it a balanced education of the mind and of the spirit which, in those strong enough to take it, hardens the intellect and deepens the sympathy for human suffering and misfortune". As I Remember Him was written 2 years before Zinsser's death at age 61 of lymphatic leukemia in 1940. A selection of Book of the Month Club, it reached the best-seller list as its author lay dying. News of its warm reception by book reviewers filtered into the obituaries. As I Remember Him tells the story of Zinsser and his cohort of American physicians, who "were more fortunate than they knew, because they were about to participate in a professional evolution with few parallels". Zinsser lived to see American medicine develop from a "relatively primitive dependence upon European thought to its present magnificent vigor". He describes how over the years the torch of medical science passed from England to France to Germany. The flow of American medical students followed its path, which had led in central Europe to "a powerful reaction of the basic sciences upon medical training and a true spirit of research [that] pervaded medical laboratories and clinics
