Excerpt from Dreschfeld Memorial Volume, Containing an Account of the Life, Work, and Writings of the Late Julius Dreschfeld: With a Series of Original Articles Dedicated to His Memory by Colleagues in the University of Manchester and Former Pupils
On the 13th of June, 1907, Manchester lost one of her most renowned citizens, the Victoria University one of her most prominent teachers, the North of England its most eminent physician.
Julius Dreschfeld died on that date. Though he had been afflicted for some years with lameness - due to some obscure spinal trouble - his undiminished and unimpaired mental activity and the cheerful view he himself took of his condition had calmed any misgivings or uneasiness which his friends had felt. But after a few days" illness, whilst conversing with a friend, without any sign of pain or discomfort, Dreschfeld suddenly expired.
Julius Dreschfeld was born in October, 1845, at Niederwern, in Bavaria. He received his early education in Bamberg. In 1861 he came to Manchester, where his relatives were living, and he began his studies at the Owens College, then situated in Quay Street. Even when a boy he showed unusual abilities; in a few years, for instance, he mastered the language of his then adopted country to such an extent that he gained a prize in English; he also gained the Dalton Chemical Prize in 1863, and the Dalton Junior Mathematical Scholarship in 1864. He continued the study of medicine at the Royal School of Medicine in Pine Street, Manchester. But he soon left this for the University of Wurzburg. The medical school of this University was then at its best; Koelliker was teaching anatomy, embryology, and histology, von Bezold physiology, Virchow had established a school of pathology, and Bamberger, who shortly thereafter went to Vienna, was one of the greatest clinical teachers in Germany.
