Abstract
THE death of Arthur Amos Noyes, director of the Gates Chemical Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, which occurred at Pasadena on June 3 as the result of an attack of pneumonia at the age of sixty-nine years, has deprived physical chemistry of another of its pioneers of the Ostwald school. Noyes may be regarded, indeed, as the American prototype of Sir James Walker, who died last year. Just as Walker was Ostwald's first British student at Leipzig, Noyes was the first American. Of them, Ostwald remarks in his autobiography: “Both are not only distinguished as investigators and teachers, but belong also as men to the best examples of this diversified race”.
