His many friends will miss this exceptional man with the trim figure, ready wit, and love of life. John

rthodontists everywhere will regret learning of the death of Gustav Korkhaus, long one of the most honored of all German orthodontists, who died on June 16, 1978, at the age of 83 after a short illness. He exerted a major influence on the development of orthodontics throughout the world as well as in Germany. He promoted the publication of scientific knowledge in the first German orthodontic journal for more than 45 years, and he was an honorary president of the German Orthodontic Society. Professor Korkhaus held both medical and dental degrees. The many honorary memberships and honorary titles of scientific societies, as well as his appointments as professor honoris causa at several foreign faculties, give proof of the high esteem and respect he enjoyed as a scientist, scholar, and university teacher at home and abroad. His scientific legacy is a guiding obligation to his many students, colleagues, and friends, and his memory will be kept alive and be given a place of honor in German orthodontics. E. Hawser, President German Orthodontic Society 681
