Abstract
HARTOG JACOB HAMBURGER was born at Alkmaar, a small town in the north of Holland, on March 9,1859, and received his early scientific education from Dr. J. D. Boeke at the “Hoogere Burgerschool,” where he was the most distinguished pupil of that eminent teacher. From school he passed to the University of Utrecht in 1879 and, as a student of chemistry, obtained his doctorate four years later. Trained as he was in the severe discipline of physics and chemistry (knowledge to stand in good stead later), other, and perhaps wider questions attracted him, for we find the subject of his thesis was “The Estimation of Urea in Urine.”
