On This Date in Minnesota History: May 26

May 26, 1922 – The doctor known as the greatest living teacher on diseases of the eye, Dr. Ernst Fuchs of the University of Vienna, 72 years old, arrived in Minneapolis today for a three weeks’ series of lectures on his way around the world. The lectures are under the auspices of the Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology.

Dr. Fuchs has been in the United States since last October, visiting a score of cities, and lecturing almost continuously. But Dr. Fuchs appeared to be as fresh and animated as most European visitors are exhausted by the time they reach the West.

For many years Dr. Fuchs was associated with Dr. Adolph Lorenz in the general hospital of Vienna. The two physicians are friends of long standing.

Eye specialists from all over the Northwest have registered for the course in Minneapolis, many of them former pupils of Dr. Fuchs in Vienna. The lectures will be given in English, which the physician speaks fluently.

A committee composed of Dr. Horace Newhart and Dr. J. A. Watson of Minneapolis and Dr. W. W. Lewis of St. Paul will have charge of the course.

Dr. Fuchs will address the Hennepin County Medical Society on “Common Errors of Diagnosis in Ophthalmology” at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 31. A dinner will be given in his honor by the Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology at the Minneapolis Club Saturday evening, June 3.
