...reformer, organizer, and teacher in the field of natural science. With J. H. van't Hoff, who received the degree of LL.D., from Harvard in 1901, Ostwald founded in 1887 the Zeitschrift fur physikalische Chemie, and in 1901 the Annalen der Naturphilosophie. In 1904 he gave the Faraday Lecture before the Royal Society. He has been a prolific and indefatigable investigator and writer, and a list of his publications would occupy several closely printed pages. Although he achieved eminence first in the field of physical chemistry, Professor Ostwald has during the last four or five years diverted, or perhaps extended...

...presented by Dr. R. C. Wells of the Department of Chemistry, the first, on the personal investigations of Dr. Wells and Professor T. W. Richards, on "Atomic Weights of Sodium and Chlorine," the second on "The Efficiency of Centrifugal Purifications," by Professor Richards, the third on "Electro-Stenolysis and Faraday's Law," by Professor Richards and Mr. B. S. Lacy...
...more than 2,000 year, but only during the last ten years has it been used practically for lighting. The electricity generated by friction, when discharged gives a spark of great brilliancy but of very short duration. The discoveries in chemical electricity, by Galvani, and in induced currents, by Faraday, were the greatest strides in our knowledge of the properties of electricity...
