Abstract
THE death of Henry Chapman Jones on March 7, at the age of seventy-seven years, removed one who has held an honourable place in the teaching of chemistry and in the development of the science and practice of photography. Apart from an early association with Birkbeck College, Chapman Jones's career as a teacher of chemistry was bound up with the Royal College of Science, where he was successively assistant, demonstrator, and lecturer, from 1881 until 1914, when he retired. In the first few years of this long period he was on Sir Edward FranHand's staff, and later he served under T. E. Thorpe, W. A. Tilden, and H. B. Baker. For a number of years he presided over the North Laboratory in the old Royal College of Science buildings, and many who worked there will recall the quiet, serious, and kindly way in which he went about his duties, as well as the high standard of industry and accuracy which he expected of his students.
