Abstract
THE death of Dr. George Senter on March 14 brings to a close an eventful life as man of science and administrator. Let us recall the main events of his history. Born in 1874 at Kildrummy, Aberdeen-shire, he was educated at the Universities of London, Leipzig and GÖttingen. He obtained his first teaching post in 1904 as lecturer on chemistry at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, and became head of the Chemistry Department, Birkbeck College, London, in 1913. Five years later, when the outcome of the War of 1914-18 was in the balance, Senter became principal of the College and so inaugurated a period which must be regarded as one of the most important in the history of that institution..
