VICTOR KUHN LaMER
June Z5, lS95-September 26, Z966
BY LOUIS P. HAMMETT
VICTOR LaMER had a lifelong devotion to the cause of good
science and good teaching of science. That he was a per-
fectionist shows throughout his scientific work. In everything
he did the background in principle was thoroughly studied, the
experimentation was of the highest possible precision and
showed the most careful attention to detail and to completeness,
and the publications that resulted were clear and effective. He
had the ability and the willingness, which are all too rare, to
recognize the limitations of a theory as well as its strengths. In
many areas his work remains a key reference, sometimes even
after several decades.
He taught a central course in the graduate curriculum in
chemistry at Columbia University, and he taught it with a con-
tinuing interest that reached deeply into the history of the
subject as well as into the logic of its organization. He expected
much of his students: He could be emphatic in his disapproval
of carelessness or incompetence, but he could be equally em-
phatic in his praise of ability and accomplishment.
He gave richly of his time and his energy to the doctoral
candidates who worked with him. He schooled them well in
his own principles of probity, precision, and thoroughness, and
they looked on him with respect and affection.
LaMer's own doctoral work, carried out with Henry Sher-

man, was in the field of the chemistry of food and nutrition-
a subject to which his thesis made important contributions.
especially in the application of statistical methods. His interests
soon turned, however, to physical chemistry. In 1922 and 1923
a fellowship took him to Europe, where he arrived in Brinsted's
laboratory in Copenhagen at an exciting period. New vistas
in the old field of electrolyte chemistry had suddenly been
opened by the ideas of Br~nsted and Debye, and LaMer became
a leader in the exploitation and development of these ideas.
His publications of the next decade on the activity coefficients
of multiply charged ions and on the rates of reactions involving
such ions still deserve the most careful study and attention
from anyone concerned with the chemistry of electrolytes. He
and his co-workers also did important theoretical work on
electrolyte solutions.
When in 1931 the existence of deuterium was discovered
at Columbia, LaMer did pioneering work on the properties of
solutions in heavy water. His studies on acid-base equilibria
in that solvent were especially significant. In 1933 he questioned
the prevalent myth that activation energy is independent of
temperature, and shortly thereafter he and his students demon-
strated experimentally that it does depend sharply on tempera-
ture for reactions involving ions in solution. This lent valuable
support to the then nascent transition state theory of reaction
rate, a theory that has revolutionized the way in which chem-
ists interpret the rates of reactions in solution. In the same
year he reported a study of acid-base equilibria in the poorly
ionizing solvent benzene. This was a ground-breaking investiga-
tion in a field that has since become one of major importance.
With the arrival of World War II, LaMer undertook as a
patriotic service the investigation of smokes and other fine
dispersions. He and Sinclair established principles and de-
veloped what is now a standard apparatus for the preparation of
monodisperse aerosols. They further discovered a new optical

effect—the higher order Tyndall spectra- that enables one to
measure particle size rapidly and simply.
When the war ended LaMer was of an age when many
scientists tend to slow down and to continue along well-trodden
paths. For him, however, the post-war period was one of ad-
venture into new fields and of highly original activity. His
interest in gaseous dispersions expanded to liquid systems, he
made contributions to the difficult problems involved in sedi-
mentation and filtration, and he developed principles and made
valuable new observations with respect to flocculation and
dispersion—processes of potentially large technical importance
as well as of purely scientific interest. Novel studies of the rate
of evaporation through surface monolayers also combine scien-
tific interest with potential applications of value for the con-
servation of water supplies.
Victor Kuhn LaMer was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on
June 15, 1895, the son of Joseph Secondule LaMer and Anna
Pauline Kuhn. He obtained the A.B. degree at the University
of Kansas in 1915. During the next two years he was a high
school teacher, a student at the University of Chicago, and a
research chemist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
In 1917 he was commissioned 1st Lieutenant in the Sanitary
Corps, U.S. Army. He entered graduate school at Columbia
University in 1919 and obtained the Ph.D. degree there in
1921. Appointed instructor in general and inorganic chemistry
at Columbia in 1920, he rose through various grades at that
institution, attaining full professorship in 1935. Awarded a
Cutting Fellowship, he worked at Cambridge University in
1922 and at the University of Copenhagen in 1923. He was a
member of Division 10 of the Office of Scientific Research and
Development, 1940-1945. He became Emeritus Professor of
Chemistry in 1961, but continued his scientific activities. He
held the position of Senior Researcher in Mineral Engineering

at Columbia, and he continued until 1965 as editor of the
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. He had been the
founding editor of that journal in 1956, and in March 1966 a
Festschrift edition honored him on his retirement as editor and
on his seventieth birthday. He was in England to present a
paper at a meeting of the Faraday Society at the time of his
sudden death in Nottingham on September 26, 1966.
LaMer was honored by the Presidential Certificate of Merit
in 1945, by the Kendall Award in Colloid Chemistry in 1956,
by the honorary D.Sc. degree of Clarkson College of Technology
in 1962, and by election to the Royal Belgian Academy of Arts,
Letters, and Sciences and to the Royal Danish Academy of
Science. He was Honorary Professor of San Marcos University
of Lima, Peru, in 1950, Fullbright Professor at Copenhagen
in 1953, and Fullbright Lecturer in Australia in 1959.
He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in
1948. He was also a member of the American Chemical Society,
the American Physical Society, the Faraday Society, and Sigma
Xi and Phi Lambda Upsilon; he was a Fellow of the New York
Academy of Sciences, of which he had been President in 1949.
He was a member of the Cosmos Club of Washington and of
the Men's Faculty Club of Columbia University.
On July 31, 1918, he married Ethel Agatha McGreevy. They
had three daughters: Luella Belle (Mrs. A. P. Slaner), Anna
Pauline (Mrs. Alex Burgo), and Eugenia Angelique (who died
in childhood). The LaMers lived in Leonia, New Jersey, which
was the home of many others of the Columbia faculty, and
were active in social and community affairs of that town.
