CHRISTIAN FENGER, M.D.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY*

I was born at Breininggaard, Breininge Sogn in Ringkjöping Amt, November 3, 1840. My father, Kammerraad Hans Fritz Fenger, was the owner of Breininggaard, and was there married to my mother, Frederikke Mathilde Fjelstrup, daughter of Etatsraad Fjelstrup, the owner of Sindinggaard in Holstebro Amt. In 1848 my father moved to Nordgaarden near Ringsted. In 1851 I entered Herlufsholm school, where I graduated in 1859 with marks of the second grade.

Love of the natural sciences led me to begin at the Polyteknisk Läreanstalt with the object of passing the examination for civil engineer, but after one year I yielded to my father's wishes and commenced to study medicine, and in the winter of 1860-61 I passed the "examen philosophicum" with the grade of "Laud." In 1863 I passed the first medical examination with good marks (anatomy, zoology, chemistry, botany). During my studies I earned part of my expenses by teaching in Melchior's High School, and later by giving instruction to medical students in anatomy and by coaching students of dentistry for their examinations. My father had twelve children, and struggled hard in order to give nearly all of the seven sons an opportunity to study. In 1864 I served as assistant physician at Augustenborg Lazareth, under Studsgaard, physician-in-chief, whom I always think of with admiration and friendship. A few years previously my father had bought a large farm (Augustenborg Ladegaard) and my home became a pleasant gathering place for many Danish officers until the unfortunate crossing of Als drove our army on to Fyen, where I was assistant physician for a battery at Assens. After the war was ended I continued the study of medicine, passed the examination for the practice of medicine in 1866-67 with the grade of "Laud."

Dr. Vilhelm Meyer, who had shown me great friendliness during a sickness while I was a student, now appointed me as amanuensis in his ear clinic and in his private practice, and here I had the opportunity to take part in the investigations which led to Dr. Meyer's

*It is required of everyone who receives the order of Knight of Dannebrog that he furnishes a sketch of his life, and accordingly on January 1, 1902, while staying at the Hotel Coronado in San Diego, Cal., Dr. Fenger wrote this autobiography in Danish.
