Abstract
GEORGE GERALD HENDERSON was born at Glasgow on January 30, 1862. After preliminary education at a private school he proceeded to the University of Glasgow where, taking up the study of chemistry, he graduated B.Sc. in 1881 and later on took also an honours degree in arts. He spent in addition some time in Leipzig studying chemistry with Johannes Wislicenus. In 1884 he joined the staff of the Chemistry Department at the University of Glasgow under Prof. John Ferguson, and about the same time he became secretary to the Glasgow Section of the Society of Chemical Industry, carrying out the duties of the post with great acceptance until 1893, thus beginning a connexion with that body which became closer and closer to the end of his life.
