The chemists of Germany are collecting money for the purpose of
presenting a gold medal to Prof. Woehler on his eightieth birthday,
which will be July 31, 1880. Prof. Woehler is one of the most
distinguished as well as the oldest of living chemists. Himself
a pupil of old Berzelius, a contemporary of Liebig, and the loved
instructor of many of our best chemists, his name is equally respected
on both sides of the Atlantic. Profs. Jay and Chandler, of Columbia
College, New York city, two of his former pupils, are receiving
contributions from those who wish to join in this well deserved
memorial.
