THE PAPERS OF SIR WILLIAM HARDY Collected Scientific Papers of Sir William Bate Hardy. Published under the auspices of the Colloid Commit-tee of the Faraday Society. Cambridge University Press, 1936. 922pp. $18.00. THE" Collected Scientific Papers of Sir William Bate Hardy" are especially important for an era in which subjects for scientific research tend more and more to be determined by administrators or their com-mittees and less and less by the unhampered imagination of the scientist. Sir William Hardy's first paper in 1891 was" On some Points in the Histology and Development of Myriothela phrygia." In his last papers in 1933-34 he was still concerned with the problems of biology. Meanwhile, interested in systems characteristic of living matter, he concerned himself first with the chemistry of the proteins, then with the physical properties of films and of the boundary state. Although constantly employing the methods of physics and chemistry he was never an" applied scientist." Rather his inquisitive mind found new fields for exact investigation at the interface between biology, physics and chemistry.Biologists often require for the solution of their problems a physics and a chemistry which has not yet been completely developed. As a consequence not only are advances made as a resultof applications of physics and chemistry to biology, but biologists con-tribute innumerable new concepts, substances and prin-ciples to physics and chemistry. Often a Helmholtz or
