DIED. Joel Hildebrand, 101, distinguished chemist and faculty member of the University of California at Berkeley for 69 years, where some 40,000 students took his first-year chemistry courses; in Kensington, Calif. His scientific research included discoveries about the absorption of gas into liquids under pressure that led to ways of protecting deep-sea divers from the bends. Hildebrand officially retired in 1952, but continued to teach graduate students, conduct research and write until a few months ago.
