I9I2] John A. Mandel 381 



facilities for biochemical research are developing and our efforts 

 appreciated by the medical and lay communities. I do not think 

 of anyone who has contributed more to this condition of develop- 

 ment than the guest of this evening, Professor R. H. Chittenden. 

 By the Organization of the physiological chemical laboratory at the 

 Sheffield Scientific School about 1875, the first in this country, and 

 by the systematic and extensive training given to a large number of 

 students, he has emphasized the importance of this branch of chem- 

 ical research and has made possible the development by supplying 

 well-trained men to act as Organizers in other institutions. For 

 this reason we all owe Professor Chittenden a deep debt of grati- 

 tude and we believe that his influence will be feit for many years 

 to come.
