The 2nd of August 1961 brings to mind the Centenary of the birth of a great scientist and industrial reformer who was born in India, Acharya P. C. Ray.

Born at a time when his native land was industrially backward and politically handicapped by being subject to foreign rule, he gained proficiency in the language of his foreign rulers, English, won their appreciation, became the recipient of scholarships, degrees, and a knighthood but remained a patriot eager to improve conditions in his own country and lived a simple, disciplined, devoted life of self abnegation dedicated to chemical research its development by his pupils, and its application to Industry-a life of "plain living and high thinking" to be emulated by all.
