Abstract
DR. MAX BERGMANN, the distinguished chemist, died in New York on November 7, 1944, at the age of fifty-eight. Dr. Bergmann, who was born in Fuerth, Bavaria, studied chemistry in Munich and received his Ph.D. degree in the University of Berlin in 1911. He then entered the laboratory of Emil Fischer, where he worked until the latter's death in 1919. In 1921 Bergmann became director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Leather Research in Dresden, a position which he held until 1934. Shortly after Hitler came to power, Bergmann, being a Jew, resigned his post and accepted the position of an associate member of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York. He was appointed a member of the Institute in 1937 and occupied this position at the time of his death.
