Abstract
DR. C. N. H. LONG, until recently director of the Cox Medical Research Institute in the University of Pennsylvania, has been appointed to the chair of physiological chemistry in Yale University, in succession to the late Prof. L. B. Mendel. This chair was previously held by another famous American physiological chemist, namely, Prof. Chittenden. Dr. Long took a first-class honours degree in chemistry at Manchester in 1921 and then worked in the physiological laboratory there and at University College, London, for a number of years, particularly on matters relating to the physiology and physiological chemistry of muscular activity in man and the higher animals. The work was done on behalf of the Medical Research Council. From University College, he went to McGill University, Montreal, where he was attached to the Medical Unit of Prof. Jonathan Meakins. There he continued his research, and qualified in medicine. From Montreal he went to the Cox Medical Research Institute at Philadelphia, and now he is going to Yale. Dr. Long thus started as a chemist, then became a physiologist, then a professor of research in medicine, and is now going back again to physiological chemistry.
