Abstract
SIR HENRY CAPEL LOFFT HOLDEN died on March 30 at the age of eighty-one years. He was a man of great vision, a distinguished scientific investigator, mathematician and mechanician. His was a versatile and inventive mind which knew no bounds. No matter what the nature of the work or investigation he undertook, he would bring to it an active, keen brain, with freshness of outlook and freedom from the trammels of past practice. He sought to improve on what already existed, or to develop something fresh which would be more effective in its application.
