Abstract
IN the death of Dr. Alfred Rée at Withington on February 26, at the age of seventy years, both chemical industry and the profession of science lose an acknowledged leader and one whose wide outlook and sympathy had won universal respect. Dr. Rée was born at Leeds and educated at the Bradford Grammar School and later at the Universities of Geneva and Munich. He was a Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Berne and had travelled widely on the Continent and in the United States, to which circumstance no doubt his interest in international affairs was partly due. He was a warm supporter of Lord Derby when he was forming the English Speaking Union and many Americans found a genuine welcome at Dr. Rée's house.
