Hubert Lanphier Terry died in Manchester in June, 1925.
He was educated at Rossall School, and from 1882 to 1886 studied chemistry at Owen’s College, Manchester, under Professor Roscoe, and geology under Professor Boyd Dawkins. In 1887 he passed the examination for Associateship of the Institute of Chemistry, and he was elected a Fellow of the Institute three years later.
From 1887 to 1902 he was employed as chemist to Messrs. Charles Macintosh & Co., Ltd., and the Union Alkali Co., of Manchester, and in 1902 he started in business as a consultant in Manchester, with a connexion as chemist and assayer to several mining companies and engineers. This necessitated visits to Spain, Norway, and Sweden, in addition to considerable travelling in England and Wales. His chief interest was in rubber, but he dealt with other substances also, and he contributed a paper to the Transactions of the Institution on ‘Chert Mining in England and Wales’, which appeared in vol. xv, 1905-6.
Mr. Terry was elected an Associate of the Institution in 1905.
