Abstract
MAJOR GREENWOOD, professor emeritus of epidemiology and vital statistics in the University of London, died on October 5 as he was about to take the chair at a meeting of the Cancer Research Committee. He was sixty-nine. His father, Dr. Major Greenwood, was a general practitioner in north-east London, a man of many parts interested in the humanities. From him Greenwood inherited literary tastes and a love of the countryside, particularly Epping Forest, where he lived for more than forty years, at Loughton. He used to recall with pleasure long cycle rides taken as a boy with his father in Essex and a holiday in Skye. I had known him for forty-five years at work and at leisure.
