Abstract

A small international matter At the Natural Scientists’ Meeting in Kassel (Part III, Chap. 37, p. 498) I met my Swiss colleague Ph. A. Guye from Geneva whom I’d known from the literature as an independently minded worker in the field of physical chemistry. In order to support our field in French speaking regions he had started a newsletter which I considered a help in our joint efforts and I heartily approved of it. Guyes own work was characterised by independence of thought and exactness of his experimental work and I’d been happy to remark on this more than once in the “Journal”.
