There is a saying "he is a person who can charm the birds from the
trees." This might well be applied to Kurt Benirschke. Indeed, it
describes both his warm personality and his intimate interaction
with nature. He might be considered a modern adept of the Greek and
Roman Stoic school of philosophy, which taught an understanding of
man as integrated into nature in its totality. The right way to
live is according to nature, with nature as part of it. This at the
same time means humanity, and Kurt Benirschke impresses us not only
as an outstanding scientist, but also as a humanist who has had a
lifelong love affair with nature. The foundation of Springer-Verlag
New York in 1964 offered a great opportunity for getting together
with eminent authors in the United States. Kurt Benirschke was one
of them, and his book Pathology of the Placenta was highly
acclaimed all over the world. My attention was first called to him
by my dear friend Dr. Ernst Uhlinger, then a pathologist in Zurich.
With a sharp and critical eye, he followed the international
literature on pathology and discovered "the genius of Kurt
Benirschke." Our first encounters led to a relationship of trust
which in turn grew into friendship. I soon learned to esteem the
special qualities of the man and the scientist; in fact they cannot
be separated.
