Abstract
PROF. ALEXANDER GUTBIER, Rector of the University of Jena, died suddenly on October 4 at the age of fifty years. We learn from the Chemiker Zeitung that Prof. Gutbier was a native of Leipzig. He became professor of chemistry at the Technische Hochschule at Stuttgart in 1912, and ten years later he succeeded Prof. Knorr at Jena, where he built up an efficient modern chemical institute, in which numerous valuable researches in analytical and colloid chemistry were carried out. His own publications dealt chiefly with investigations of tellurium, selenium, and the noble metals, with atomic weight determinations, and with colloidal metals and protective colloids. He also published several works on practical chemistry.
