Biographies

HIRSCHFELD, OTTO SADDLER (1898-1957), medical practitioner and university chancellor, was born on 24 March 1898 in Brisbane, eldest of six children of Eugen Hirschfeld, a physician from Prussia, and his Victorian-born wife Annie Sarah Eliza, née Saddler. Otto was educated at the Normal School, Brisbane Grammar School (which he represented at Rugby Union football) and the University of Queensland (B.Sc., 1919; M.Sc., 1921). With Professor T. H. Johnston, he was co-author of 'The Lingulidae of the Queensland Coast', a paper read to the Royal Society of Queensland in June 1919. Hirschfeld then studied medicine at the University of Melbourne (M.B., B.S., 1923). After serving as a resident medical officer at the (Royal) Melbourne Hospital for eighteen months, he returned to Brisbane in June 1924 and entered private practice. On 29 October 1925 at St Andrew's Anglican Church, South Brisbane, he married Joan Mary Eliott, a nurse. His father, who had been German consul in Brisbane, was interned in 1916 and deported in 1920. Although he was permitted to return to Australia in 1927, the family suffered many indignities during these years. As the eldest son, Otto carried the responsibility of being head of the family in Eugen's absence. He never revealed any resentment of the episode.
