Abstract

Although it is almost fifty years since Howe’s death, no really satisfactory biography of him has been written. In an attempt to remedy this situation, at least partially, this lecture reviews briefly his family background, his personal life and his professional career. Special attention has been given to relating Howe as a person to his accomplishments as a metallurgist.
