SCIENTIFIC EVENTS 



JOHN HARPER LONG 



The many friends of the late Professor John 

 Harper Long, for thirty-seven years professor 

 of chemistry in Northwestern University, will 

 appreciate the portrayal of the man as a 

 teacher, investigator, public servant and 

 friend, contained in the small volume entitled 

 " John Harper Long, — A Tribute from his 

 Colleagues." It is edited by Dr. Robert H. 

 Gault of Northwestern University, contains a 

 chapter by F. B. Dains, entitled " Student, 

 Teacher and Chemist," one by F. Robert Zeit, 

 " A Colleague at the Medical School," another 

 by Ira Remsen on " Dr. Long as a Member of 

 the Referee Board," and an appreciation of 

 the last ten years of Dr. Long's scientific work 

 by Julius Stieglitz and Paul Nicholas 

 Leech. Dr. Frank Wright reviews Dr. 

 Long's activities in connection with Chi- 

 cago's gigantic drainage problems and the vol- 

 ume concludes with a comprehensive bibliog- 

 raphy of Dr. Long's publications, comprising 

 one hundred and eighteen contributions. 



There is thus compassed in seventy pages, 

 tastily arranged, a fitting tribute to a man 

 who did 80 much for chemistry and educa- 

 tion. One outstanding feature of Dr. Long's 

 professional life comes back vividly to the 

 reviewer, a characteristic which indexed well 

 his deep, unselfish interest in his profession, 

 namely, his constant attendance and active, 

 helpful participation in the national and sec- 

 tional meetings of the American Chemical 

 Society. Even long after his health should 

 have demanded more consideration of self, 

 he gave unstintingly of his time, his counsel 

 and his uplifting ideals, to the organization 

 which had given him its highest honor. 



The edition is limited to a thousand and 

 copies may be obtained through Professor
