Abstract

These are the concluding words of an appreciation of the life and scientific work of Johan Frederik Eykman (1851–1915) published in Recueil Travaux Chimique des Pays-Bas, XXXV, 365–420 (1916), written by A. F.Holleman. It is very doubtful if the writer appreciated, at the time, the full significance of his words. Johan Frederik was the second of eight children born to Christiaan Eykman and his wife Johanna Alida in the village of Nijkerk. He qualified in pharmaceutical science in 1874 from the University of Amsterdam and a year later began to prepare to study for his doctorate in physical sciences at the University of Leiden. These studies were interrupted forever by an extraordinary circumstance.Eykman was approached by the Japanese government and nominated as director of a laboratory charged with the analysis of medicaments and research into indigenous materials. In 1881 he was elected to a chair in Chemistry in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tokyo; the first Dutchman to hold a chair in this University. In 1886 Eykman returned to Holland but before doing so he was received in audience by the Emperor who rewarded him for his services to the Empire with “l’ordre du Soleil Levant”.
