Van't Hoff is considered to be one of the founding fathers of physical chemistry. In 1901 van’t Hoff received the first Nobel prize in Chemistry “in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions.” Around 1894, Georg Bredig completed a portion of his post-doctoral work in van’t Hoff’s laboratory in Amsterdam.

ergebenst

Dear Doctor,
Due to my trip, some things have been delayed. Thank you for sending and calibrating the bridge, etc. I have now read Dr Keurick's work and if he agrees with my plans in advance/now, I can find the opportunity to work with him at the beginning of the next semester.
Sincerely,
J. van't Hoff
