Prof. Richards to Sail on March 9

Professor T. W. Richards '86, who is going to Berlin as Harvard's representative in the annual exchange of professors, will sail from New York on March 9 by the Hamburg-American line.

Professor Richards is to give a course of lectures at the University of Berlin on "The Fundamental Constants of Physical Chemistry," which will later be published in book form. The greater part of Professor Richards' work will consist in directing a few men in advanced research work.

A separate laboratory has been fitted up for him with apparatus like that at Harvard by Dr. Arthur Staehler, who spent a large part of last year here studying the Harvard laboratories. With these preliminary steps already taken, Professor Richards will have a chance, which would otherwise have been impossible, to carry on research work.

Professor Kuehnemann, who was the visiting professor here during the first half-year, will return to Germany on the same steamer.
