Abstract
THE academic career of Prof. Anton Lampa, who died in Vienna on January 28 at the age of seventy years, was under the shadow of the political changes occurring in Austria during his lifetime. Educated in Vienna, he studied physics under von Lang and became Privatdozent and assistant professor in the University of Vienna. In 1909 he was called upon to fill the chair of experimental physics at the German University in Prague ; when, in 1918, Czechoslovakia became an independent State, the German University in Prague came under the authority of the new Government instead of the Ministry of Education in Vienna. Although this did not cause any appreciable change of its activities, and almost all of the professors continued their work, Lampa decided to return to Vienna. Since there was no chair available for him there he again became Privatdozent of physics.
