Paul Delmas-Marsalet is described by his contemporaries as having an extraordinary personality. A brilliant inventor and a tireless worker who slept very little and wrote extensively, he was also an excellent speaker who was profoundly committed to teaching. As part of his duties as dean of the medical school, he was responsible for organising the annual review, during which one of his most eccentric machines was subsequently displayed for years. Upon his departure from the university, he delivered a farewell lecture on 28 June 1969. With all his academic decorations on display, he was dressed in one of the few traditional academic gowns to have escaped destruction by the fires set off by students in the May 1968 revolution: a farewell lecture archetypical of an academic with a flamboyant personality who left a lasting impression on an entire generation of students and doctors in Bordeaux.
