Abstract
DR. LUDWIG MOSER, director of the Institute for Analytical Chemistry at the Technical High School in Vienna, and president of the Verein Oesterreichischer Chemiker, died on Sept. 26 after a motor accident in which his wife was also killed. We learn the following particulars from the Chemiker-Zeitung: Born at Vienna in 1879, Moser studied under Vortmann at the Technical High School, and after spending some time in industrial work was appointed assistant to Vortmann. In 1920 Vortmann retired and Moser succeeded to the chair. He reorganised the Institute, which was transferred to new premises, and a department was devoted to micro-chemical analysis. Moser was an untiring investigator, and up to the time of his death more than ninety publications had appeared under his name, many of which related to the rare earths. He also published volumes on the estimation of bismuth and on the preparation of pure gases. At the time of his death he was engaged on the manuscript of a “Lehrbuch der analytischen Chemie”, which is not more than half completed.
