Mall of the space of mall

Abstract

Franklin Paine Mall (1862–1917) was born in Belle Plaine, Iowa. In 1880, he enrolled at the medical school of the University of Michigan where, for the first time anywhere in the United States, the medical curriculum was extended to a full 3 years. Thence he undertook postgraduate study in Germany under the eminent Leipzig physiologist Karl Ludwig (1816–1895). There he elucidated the true origin of the thymus gland in a treatise that challenged the previous claim of his mentor; to Ludwig's credit, he promptly acknowledged the correction by his student.
