A photo-electric polarimeter–a scientific device for investigating organic chemical compounds–has been donated to the Hebrew University by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of West Germany. It was presented at a ceremony yesterday by Dr. Christoph Niemoller, cultural attache of the West German Embassy. The gift recognizes the scientific work done at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Bonn in 1967-68 by Dr. Ruth Segal of the Hebrew University’s Pharmacy School, who researched the chemistry of natural products as a Humboldt fellow. At the conclusion of her work in Bonn, the Institute promised to present her own school with an appropriate apparatus.
