Abstract
Vasant Ramji Khanolkar was the first Professor and Head of Pathology at Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and King Edward Memorial VII Hospital [GSMC] in Bombay (now Mumbai). Although he later gained international recognition as a pathologist during his career at Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay, after 1941, little is known about his scientific contributions during his years at GSMC. This article outlines his research and other academic activities at GSMC, with specific dates; his memberships in societies and the congresses he attended in India and Paris, France; and the examination patterns of the 1920s. Additionally, it highlights the personal interests that enriched his life.
