Prof. Otto Hönigschmid

BY his untimely death during October 1945, a tragic victim of war conditions, chemical science has lost in Pr . Otto Honigschmid one of its leading workers in the field inorganic chemistry. His name will always be remembered in chemical circles as the outstanding authority in Europe on the chemical atom weights, and for the active school of research he built up at Munich after his appointment there in 1222 as professor ordinarius.
