KEITH INGLIS, who died on 26th January 1960, was one of the outstanding medical men in Australia in his time. After being Senior Prefect and member of the 1st Crew and Athletic team at Grammar in 1906 he went on to Sydney University and graduated in Medicine in 1911. His interest centred on Pathology and, after working in this field during the First World War, he lectured and demonstrated at the University of Sydney and joined the Staff of Sydney Hospital. In 1934 he became the first Director of the Kanematsu Memorial Institute of Pathology. From 1936 until his retirement in 1952 he was Professor of Pathology at Sydney University. He was an outstanding teacher and did much valuable original investigation. From 1946 he was a Director of Sydney Hospital and died as he was to speak at a Board meeting. He retained his interest in Grammar throughout his life and was a frequent attendant at Old Sydneians' functions.
