Abstract
BY the death of Herbert Freundlich in Minnesota on March 29 at the age of sixty-one, colloid science has lost one of its chief exponents. His remarkably comprehensive grasp of the literature of what had been up to his time a somewhat widely diffused collection of facts and ad hoc hypotheses permitted him to bring them into order and, indeed, into a logical system. His memory will long survive not only on account of his own contributions, but especially for “Kapillarchemie”, his classical book on the subject, of which the fourth edition in two volumes appeared in 1930.
