successful issue a very large number of investigations in this his chosen 

 field. It is not too much to say that Dr. Tingle considered organic 

 research as his life work; evidently it was the one in which was his 

 heart and the one in which he was looking forward had his health 

 been spared to devote all his time and energy. As an organic chemist 

 he certainly held a first place among Canadian chemists. 



Dr. Tingle translated and edited several important works in 

 chemistry. For a long time "Spectrum Analysis," by Landauer and 

 Tingle was the only comprehensive work on the subject in English. 



Dr. Tingle was a kind and generous man, as so many of his 

 friends and students can testify. Especially worthy of mention was 

 his personal interest in his students and their work, exciting their 

 ambition and enthusiasm for_ advanced study and doing all that he 

 was able towards assisting them in obtaining in post-graduate work 

 those conditions in which they could best proceed with their chosen 

 science. His was a high ideal and his students and fellow workers 

 were undoubtedly influenced thereby. In the death of Dr. Tingle 

 Canada has certainly lost a devoted and skillful worker in the field 

 of organic research and one of her best, most efficient, and most 

 successful teachers in the science of chemistry. 



LAWRENCE MORRIS LAMBE 



Lawrence Morris Lambe, who was elected a Fellow of the Royal 

 Society of Canada in 1900 and was a life member, died at his residence, 

 Argyle avenue, Ottawa, on March 12, 1919. His death has taken 

 from the Society one who always had a very keen interest in all 

 its activities. He held the office of Secretary of Section IV from 1903 

 to 1906, and the office of Honorary Treasurer of the Society from 

 1906 to 1914. After his retirement from that office he was appointed 

 a permanent member of the Council. 



Mr. Lambe was Vertebrate Palaeontologist of the Geological 

 Survey, and his sudden death has taken from the staff of the Survey 

 one of its best known scientists. 



Death, which was due to pneumonia, followed a very brief illness. 

 Mr. Lambe was born in Montreal, the son of Wm. B. Lambe, advocate 

 of Montreal, and Margaret Morris, daughter of the late Hon. Wm. 

 Morris. He was educated at private schools and graduated from the 

 Royal Military College in 1883. Mr. Lambe took a keen interest in 

 military matters and at one time held a commission as lieutenant 

 in the Governor-General's Foot Guards. 



The connection of Mr. Lawrence Lambe with the Geological 

 Survey of Canada dates from 1885 when he received his permanent
