Abstract
THE death of Prof. Floyd K. Richtmyer on November 7 has removed a notable figure from scientific circles in the United States. Born in 1881, he graduated at Cornell, most of his academic life being spent as a member of the staff of this same University. His doctoral dissertation was on the subject of photoelectric phenomena, and studies on physical photometry occupied several years of research, during which time he worked under the guidance of E. L. Nichols.
