EMIL G. KLARMANN, THE MAN 59 wines. Actually, I guess he has tried everything, including maguey worms in Mexico. I•r 0Ol•CI. trSlOl• Here is a man who has never yearned for the bad wine because he was tired of the good wine. On the contrary, "he is constantly looking this way and that to find the springs of human conduct." He is not particularly loquacious but his pungence has been felt by many- debaters. He gives a zest and meaning to life. His work has sired several books and he is about to do one alone. There is a tenderness and reverence in the mention of his parents. On his birthdays, he always gave a birthday gift to his mother. It is a deep- felt loss to us, his friends, that she died a few months ago, for the honor bestowed tonight would have thrilled her as only a parent can experience such a thrill. And last, a woman married to such a genius has our loving sympathy. But her tribulations, if any, are lightened since she, too, possesses an in- telligence far above the average. May I close this eulogy with a question asked by Goethe ? "Know'st thou the land where the lemon trees bloom, Where the gold orange glows in the deep thicket's gloom, Where a wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows, And the groves are of laurel and myrtle and rose."

EMIL G. KLARMANN, MAN OF SCIENCE By Lous SCHWARTZ, M.D., and EDWARD SAGARIN MK. SAGAKIN AND I FEEL honored to have been chosen from among his host of friends to frame for you a word picture of Emil Klarmann, the scientist. We appreciate the opportunity to sketch for you his many- sided scientific accomplishments. Emil Klarmann is a scientist who has devoted his life to the formulation and the production of better and safer cosmetics and germicides. His achievements, from his earliest work on proteins, when he collaborated with the renowned Emil Abderhalden, to his most recent studies on dentifrices, deodorants, hormones, and germicides, illustrate the width and versatility of his studies in his specialized fields. It is because of the high caliber of work like this, that physicians, derma- tologists, and sanitarians now have a better understanding of the research, knowledge, and effort that are put into the manufacture of modern cos- metics and antibacterials. Dr. Klarmann has by his work won the re- spect and good will of those in the medical profession with whom he has come in contact, and he also enjoys the confidence of government officials in the regulatory fields affecting the activities of the cosmetic and disin- fectant industries. In my former position as a government dermatologist on the staff of the United States Public Health Service I had known of his work in the field of antiseptics and cosmetics long before I met him, and I was impressed by the precise recording of the details of his experiments and the logical de- ductions he made from them. Since meeting him more than ten years ago, and learning to know him well, my respect for his wide knowledge of chemistry and the related arts has increased in addition, I have found that he has a profound knowledge of the dermatologic effects of cosmetics and of chemicals in general. True to the high ideals of scientific ethics he has published his findings so that others may read them, and make use of them. Dr. Klarmann is the author of some 50 publications and has been granted 15 American and many foreign patents during the thirty years he has spent with the in- dustry--all with one employer. He has directed the formulation and supervised the manufacture of the products, and has built for his em- ployers a reputation for honesty and integrity. The antiseptic and cos-
