Abstract
PROF. R. K. LARMOUR, professor of chemistry in the University of Saskatchewan, has been appointed director of the Prairie Regional Laboratory which is to be built in Saskatoon by the Canadian National Research Council. Prof. Larmour served in the War of 1914–18, and following his return from overseas, he graduated from the University of Saskatchewan and carried out postgraduate work in the University of Minnesota, where he was Shevlin fellow. He joined the staff of the University of Saskatchewan in 1927 and has remained there ever since except for a short period when he occupied the chair of milling industry at a mid-western American university. Dr. Larmour has a high reputation in the field of grain research. The Prairie Regional Laboratory will be concerned primarily with investigations into the utilization of agricultural crops. It will be provided with facilities to undertake all phases of laboratory and pilot-plant investigations in this field.
