Abstract
UNDER the title “Naturforscher und Erfinder. Bio-graphische Miniaturen” Prof. Darmstaedter published recently a collection of fifty most fascinating, short biographical notices of pioneer workers in various branches of science. I received it privately from the author, as a token of friendship on the approach of his eightieth birthday. We were fellow students under Kolbe at Leipzig in 1868. He is the one German student friend with whom I have remained in communication. I always connect him with Butlerow, as I vividly remember his bringing the celebrated Russian chemist to visit us in the laboratory.
Prof. Dr. phil. Dr. jur. h.c. Ludwig Darmstaedter.
Ehrenmitglied des Staatsinstituts für experimentelle Therapie und des Georg Speyer Hauses in Frankfurt am Main zu seinem 80 Geburtstage am 9 August 1926. (Berlin: Albert Frisch, 1926.)
