Abstract
BY the death on February 7 of Prof. Johan van Baren, agricultural science has lost the leading authority on soil mineralogy. Born in Rotterdam on April 18, 1875, van Baren became assistant in mineralogy to Prof. J. L. C. Schroeder van der Kolk, of the University of Delft, in 1899. In 1903 he went to Wageningen, where he taught mineralogy and geology at the Agricultural College, and when this College was made an Agricultural University, in 1918, he was appointed professor of mineralogy, geology and agro-geology.
