Abstract
DR. PAUL FROESCHEL has been appointed professor of plant physiology at Ghent State University as a successor to the late Prof. G. L. Funke. Dr. Froeschel was born in Vienna in 1888. He studied botany and especially plant physiology with Julius v. Wiesner, Richard v. Wettstein and Hans Molisch, and became known for his work on plant irritability and especially short phototropic presentation times. After graduating, Dr. Froeschel worked with Prof. Linsbauer (Czrnowitz), Prof. Goebel (Munich) and Prof. Wasitzky (Vienna). At the end of the First World War he took up agriculture; he worked on the cultivation of medicinal plants, and as an agricultural consultant he had the opportunity of becoming closely acquainted with agricultural problems. In 1938, Dr. Froeschel emigrated to Belgium, where he was given a place in the department of Prof. Funke, director of the plant physiology laboratories of Ghent State University. There Dr. Froeschel in the first place worked on the growth-inhibiting substances of plants, and furnished valuable contributions not only to the physiology of these substances, but also to their practical use.
