ABSTRACT THERE are many who will regret to learn of the death of Mr. George Newlands, the Advisory Officer in Soils in the North of Scotland College of Agriculture. Mr. Newlands was a


graduate of the University of Aberdeen and specialised in geology and in chemistry. After serving for a time as assistant to Dr. Gibb, the professor of geology, he worked as a chemist in


munition works during the War. After his war service he joined the staff of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture as a research worker in soils under Prof. Hendrick, with whom he


published a number of papers on the mineralogical constitution of the soil. He recently went to visit laboratories on the continent engaged on research work on soils; when there he was taken


ill and died rather suddenly in Berlin. Never of very robust health, he had overstrained himself in an attempt to see as much as possible in a limited time. Soil science has lost in Mr.


Newlands a worker of great promise who had reached the stage at which his work was becoming fruitful. ARTICLE PDF ENJOYING OUR LATEST CONTENT? LOGIN OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO CONTINUE * Get
