Abstract
ALEXEJ EUGUENIEVITSCH TCHITCHIBABIN, born at Kusemino, Poltava, in 1871, recently died in Paris at the age of seventy-four. He studied at the University of Moseow from 1888 for four years, and published his first scientific paper during that period. His work was on pyridine and its derivatives, a field then neither well known nor very popular; but in spite of opposition, he persisted with it and never lost interest in the field.
