[Homage to Professor André Cornet (March 31, 1911-July 20, 2007), former President of the French Society of the History of Medicine].
As he was the general secretary of the Society for eleven years, Doctor Alain Ségal, gastroenterologist, paid tribute to Professor André Cornet for his determining action during the six years of his chairmanship of the Society. The length of this period was unusual according to the statutes but it allowed him thanks to his watchful and well-accepted authority to save our Society from a threatening disaster. The author evoked professor Cornet's contribution to the history of our art in Histoire des Sciences médicales with the help of his wife, doctor Anna Cornet.
