The world of science in general and Asia in particular have suffered a grievous loss through the premature death of Professor C. F. Baker on July 22. Among the very few Europeans and Americans who came to the Orient and stimulated the progress of scientific agriculture and made substantial contributions to the development of Biology through original researches in Tropical Asia during the last two decades, no other name stands higher or occupies a more conspicuous place. No tribute therefore from fellow workers in the same field will be too great to this soul.
