Abstract
PROF. L. S. PALMER, chief in the Division of Agricultural Biochemistry of the Department of Agriculture at the University of Minnesota, died on March 8 at the age of fifty-six. Dr. Palmer had been at the University of Minnesota since 1919 and became head of the division at University Farm a year ago, succeeding the late Dr. Ross A. Gortner. More than thirty years of research and teaching at the Universities of Missouri and Minnesota had earned for him wide recognition as a chemist, especially in the field of dairy science and nutrition. He was the first recipient of the Borden Award for outstanding research in the chemistry of milk.
