George B. Wislocki, James Stillman Professor of Comparative Anatomy, died in his home in Milton yesterday after 15 years as head of the Medical School's department of anatomy.
Wislocki's discovery in 1936 that hormones are supplied to the body, not the brain, gave impetus to the science of endocrinology. After graduating from Washington University in 1912, Wislocki received an honorary degree from the Medical School here in 1941. Besides holding the Stillman chair, he was also Hersey Professor of Anatomy.
In the field of histochemistry, dealing with specific chemical activities in cells, Wislocki made numerous trips into the interior of Nicaragua to collect various species of monkeys for his experiments.
He is survived by his wife, Dr. Florence C. Wislocki, and four children. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., at the Unitarian Church in Milton.
