摘要：Dr. Rudolph Matas, scholar, world renowned surgeon and bibliophile, died in New Orleans on September 23, 1957 after a long illness. In spite of his advanced years, he retained his keen interest in medicine, in libraries and in people until early in 1956 when the infirmities of age overtook him. Many members of the AMedical Library Association will recall his dinner address at the meeting in 1942; some of the older members will also recall his dinner address at the Association's first New Orleans meeting in 1931. He was an Honorary member of the Association from 1938 until his death.
