Abstract
THE annals science bear abundant testimony to the native genius and energy of Sweden, and in this respect Svante August Arrhenius, who has just passed away, upheld with honour and distinction the reputation of his country. Born near Upsala in 1859, as the son of a land steward, Arrhenius obtained his early education in the school and university of that town, moving later to the University of Stockholm, the atmosphere of which was more congenial and stimulating to the young physicist. His researches there on electrical conductivity and its relation to chemical activity, although lightly esteemed by the Upsala professors, brought him recognition abroad, whilst the theory of electrolytic dissociation, put forward in 1887 during his Wanderjahre, secured for him an established position in international science.
