Abstract
THE death of Frederic Stanley Kipping on May 1 in his eighty-sixth year has removed one of the last links with what may be termed the later classical era of organic chemistry in Britain. His name will always be associated with the chair of chemistry at University College. Nottingham, where for thirty-nine years he directed a small, but extremely productive, school of research. His work gave to the College, which he served so faithfully, university status in the eyes of his contemporaries forty years before the receipt of its University Charter in 1948. He received the Longstaff Medal of the Chemical Society, the Davy Medal of the Royal Society, delivered the Bakerian Lecture and on his retirement in 1936 received the degree of D.Sc. honoris causa from the University of Leeds.
