Retirement of Professor Charles Palache, noted mineralogist who has been at Harvard since 1895, was announced by the University yesterday. He has been appointed professor of Mineralogy, emeritus, effective next September 1.
Colleagues of Palache, together with University officials and former students, will held a reception in his honor on February 5 at the Faculty Club. At that time a portrait of him by Irwin Hoffman of New York will be presented to the University; it will later hang at the Mineralogical Museum, where he has been active for forty-five years.
One of the world's outstanding scientists in mineralogy, Palache was recipient of the first award of the Washington A. Roebling Medal of the Mineralogical Society of America, in 1937. His principal work has been in the crystallography of minerals.
