Abstract:
At the end of the nineteenth century, the imperial capital of the k.k. Danube monarchy, Vienna, enabled the meeting of two important figures in medical history: the surgeon Eduard Albert (1841-1900) and his student Adolf Lorenz (1854-1946). Both men had comparable traits: they came from humble backgrounds, were exceptionally talented and longed for a career in the supreme medical discipline-surgery. Both achieved the highest goals in their disciplines but the spectrum of their interests was much broader. The life of both and their contacts to each other are reported here. In this respect the Memorial Book of House No. 528 by Eduard Albert in Senftenberg was also evaluated.

For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
