608 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORP. 



Many honors had come to Doctor Kellner in recognition of his serv- 

 ices. The Order of the Red Eagle, third class, was conferred upon 

 him by the Government, and he was named Geheimer Hofrat, The 

 Swedish Academy of Agriculture made him a member, and on the 

 occasion of the jubilee celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of 

 the University of Breslau last year the medical faculty conferred 

 upon him the highest academic recognition — its honorary degree of 

 doctor of medicine, an honor of which he was justly proud. 



Doctor Kellner had attended the International Dairy Congress at 

 Stockholm the past summer and returned in full health and vigor. 

 He w^ent to Karlsruhe to preside at the convention of the Association 

 of German Stations and was stricken with apoplexy on the eve of its 

 meeting. His death, at the premature age of sixty years, came, there- 

 fore, as a great shock to his friends. He was to have retired from the 

 office of president this year, and the decision had been reached to 

 confer on him the title of honorary president in recognition of his 

 prolonged service. 



In announcing Doctor Kellner's death to the association, Professor 

 Fresenius said of him: "As a conspicuous man of science he was an 

 ornament to the association. He was one of the best among us — a 

 noble man from head to foot. His memory, the grateful recollection 

 of his service, will long remain with us."
