Memorials

Carl L. Alsberg. A little over one year ago, on October 31, 1940, the world of science lost one of its most brilliant and stimulating personalities, Dr. Carl L. Alsberg. Trained as a biochemist, he taught at Harvard, served in the Bureau of Plant Industry from 1908 and in 1912 became chief of the Bureau of Chemistry in the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1921 he was made a director of the Food Research Institute at Stanford University and in 1938 became director of the Giannini Foundation and professor of agricultural economics at the University of California. He was the "complete scientist," as at home in the social sciences as in the natural sciences.
