Abstract
PROF. L. I. MANDELSTAM, an outstanding Russian physicist and member of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., died in Moscow on November 27, 1944, when at the height of his powers. Mandelstam was endowed with an unusually profound and subtle mind. He was at once a brilliant experimenter, an outstanding theoretical worker, a profound thinker, especially interested in the problems of epistemology and of the philosophy of science, and an outstanding expert in radio-engineering.
