The holding of the 8th Jerusalem Symposium was saddened by the
sudden death of Professor Ernst D. Bergmann at the very eve of this
meeting. With him disappeared one of the leading world scientists
in the field of physical chemistry and biochemistry. His
innumerable friends and admirers over the whole world mourn him
profoundly. All those who knew him personally and among them the
participants in the previous Jerusalem Symposia will remember for
ever the exceptional qualities of the scientist and the unusual
human warmth of the man. With Ernst D. Bergmann the state of Israel
lost one of the founders of its Science and one of its most
brilliant and renowned representatives. The spirit which he suc
ceeded to inoculate into his numerous disciples and pupils will,
however, continue to perpetuate his name and his work. The
Jerusalem Symposia will continue as a living testimony to his
brilliant inspiration. Before dying, Professor Bergmann has
prepared a few opening remarks for the 8th Jerusalem Symposium.
They are reproduced here. BERNARD PULLMAN OPENING WORDS Prepared by
the Late Professor Ernst David Bergmann It gives me great pleasure

Hebrew University which is co-sponsoring this meeting, and of the
President and Council of the Israel Academy of Sciences and

disposal."
