Oscar Teague

[摘要] The following short sketch of Oscar Teague's career and the list of his scientific contributions are the records of a scholar's life, whose development was consistently guided by instinctive devotion to scientific truth. A tabulation of titles, however, while it conveys an idea of the diligence and versatility of an investigator, gives but a very imperfect conception of the quality of his mind or of the distinction of the work. Were we attempting to write a conventional eulogy of a friend, we would confine ourselves to phrases of praise which would be read as satisfactorily proper in an obituary notice. We would like to go beyond this in the case of Oscar Teague, however, for those who worked with him or saw him work know that the personality and spirit behind these publications was one that our science could ill afford to lose.
