Dr. Hendricks is the senior
chemist of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Soils, and Agricultural
Engineering. He has achieved dis
tinction in the field of base ex
change of the hydrated alumina
silicatesi such as the clays. This
research is of fundamental impor
tance in the study of soil mechan
ics, water treatment problems,
ceramics, and the general physical
chemistry of silicates.
As a member of many scientific
societies, among other honors, he
has received are the Hillebrand
Prize awarded by. the Chemical
Society of Washington in 1937,

Arkansas, his M. S. degree from
Kansas State College, and a Ph.D.
degree from the California Insti
tute oif Technology in 1926. Since
then he has carried on research in
physical chemistry at the Car
negie Institute, the Rockefeller
Institute, and the U. S. Depart

The review will cover much of
the newer knowledge of clays and
correlate the work with other
crystalline silicates -as well as
with glasses. ■
