History of Life

Ivan Mahaim was born in Liège, Belgium (Fig. 1). In 1899, when Ivan was 2 years old, his father was called at Lausanne in Switzerland as professor of psychiatry at the University and as director of the Cery Psychiatric Hospital in Prilly, a little town close to Lausanne. Ivan Mahain followed the primary and the secondary school in Lausanne. At the age of 17, before finishing the Classic Lyceum, he enlisted for voluntary service in the Belgian Army during the First World War. He studied for his Baccalaureate during the long wait in the military trench and he graduated in 1918 in Geneva during a military leave. In the same year, at the end of the war, he began his study in Medicine at the University of Lausanne, graduating in 1924 with specialization in Internal Medicine and Anatomical Pathology.
