Abstract
WE record with great regret the death of Mr. Leon Gaster, who passed away after a brief illness on Jan. 7. Mr. Gaster's chief work was the founding of the Illuminating Engineering Society, of which he had been honorary secretary since its birth in 1909. A year earlier he had founded the Illuminating Engineer, the official organ of the Society, which he edited up to the date of his death. A very sad feature was the fact that his death occurred shortly before the issue of a special number of his journal, celebrating its twentieth anniversary.
