    A comparative anatomist and professor, Jan Kolda passed away on 29 November 1958 in DoubravnĆ­k. His lengthy career can be best summed up by fellow veterinarian and professor, Čeněk Červený, following Kolda's death:

     

    "The work he performed to the benefit of Czech and world-veterinary morphology, is enormous. He was an excellent university teacher, he compiled the first Czech textbook of veterinary anatomy, developed scientific activities on a wide basis and educated many successful followers. He built the Anatomical Institute and a magnificent anatomical museum. He laid solid foundations to Czechoslovak veterinary morphology."
