Abstract
DR. JÉSSE P. GREENSTEIN, chief of the Biochemistry Section, U.S. Public Health Service, writes: "The loss of Prof. J. M. Gulland to the scientific world is deeply regretted by his colleagues in the United States who knew the man and admired his personality and achievements. Gulland was one of a group of distinguished foreign guests at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium held in June 1947. He was easily the dominant figure at that conference, and the charm and ease of his manner, his gentle critical spirit, together with the scholarliness and incisiveness of his thinking, evoked general admiration and affection. Gulland‘s investigations in the field of the nucleic acids revealed a meticulous and sound approach, and were of great interest and still greater promise. It is indeed a sad misfortune that we should have lost him."
