Abstract
THE sudden death on January 6 of Prof. George Barger, at the early age of sixty years, has come as a shock to all those, in many countries, who were his friends. Barger was born in Manchester in 1878, his father being Dutch, his mother English; and his childhood in a bilingual home, followed by schooling in Holland, laid the basis of that easy fluency in many languages which so distinguished him in later life. He returned to his native England for his university courses, entering King's College, Cambridge, with a scholarship in natural science, after a year at University College, London. In 1904 he was elected a fellow of King's College.
