Abstract
PROF. O. D. CHWOLSON, of the University of Leningrad, who died on May 11, 1934, is well known as the author of a textbook of physics, originally published in Russian and later translated into German, French and Spanish. It was one of the first textbooks written for high-school students and enjoys a deservedly high reputation. Its success has been due to the masterful treatment of the subjects by a highly gifted lecturer and teacher. The first four volumes were written by Prof. Chwolson himself; the last volume consists of chapters written at Prof. Chwolson's request, and on the lines he indicated, by specialists, his pupils, in various branches of modern physics.
