Abstract
The many-sided Czechoslovak man of science, Vladimir Ulehla, died on July 3 at the age of fifty-eight. His father had taken a prominent part, years ago, in securing educational reforms in Moravia, and Vladimir's interest in science was further developed under Prof. B. Němec at Prague and at the University of Strasbourg. After 1919, Dr. Ulehla became professor of plant physiology and biology at the newly founded Masaryk University of Brno. His original contributions to science relate mainly to a study of protoplasmic movement in lower organisms, and the influence of various ions on cells and their protoplasm. The borderline of plant and animal life, and the infusoria especially, interested him and he made some physico-chemical investigations on plant colloids and on turgor. Ulehla also wrote two books in Czech of a philosophical nature, “Reflexions on Life” and “Beyond the Veil”.
