IN MEMORIAM : RICHAllD REYNOLDS, F.C.S. 
The great service which Reynolds was privileged to render 
to his own generation and to his adopted county was connected 
with the foundation of the Yorkshire College. He was Hon. 
Secretary to the College during its first critical years, and but 
for his diligence, sagacity, and knowledge of men, the College 
could hardly have surmounted its early difficulties. For ten years 
he was its mainspring, and no sacrifice of time and labour seemed 
too great, if only he could thereby carry the great project one 
step nearer to complete realisation. The Yorkshire College is, 
to those who know its inner history, a lasting monument to his 
indef.'itigable, though, of course, not unaided exertions. 
Mr. Reynolds was active in other directions also. In 1881 
he was called upon to preside over the Pharmaceutical Conference 
during its meeting at York, and wherever he saw a prospect of 
public usefulness, he was read}^ with his counsel and support. 
In private life he was the same amiable and modest man that 
we knew so well in public — energetic without fuss, well-informed 
without parade. Leeds and Yorkshire want a succession of such 
men, but we are not so sanguine as to anticipate that the want 
will be regularly met. L. C. Miall.
