VIOLET GURALDIN SHEFFIELD, whose death occurred on July 4 became the wife of R. H. A. Plimmer before her academic career was far advanced. She had one son and three daughters, and she
applied her scientific training and knowledge to the rearing of them in a thoroughly wholesome and healthy manner. She became intensely interested in the influence of nutrition on health and
made it her especial study. Her husband became interested in it also, and, in addition to his pioneer work on the structure of the proteins, he carried out experiments on the influence of
vitamin B on the nutrition of different birds, for example, hens, guinea fowls, turkeys, etc. Prof, and Mrs. Plimmer jointly wrote a book entitled “Food, Health and Vitamins", which was
first published in 1925. By 1942 it had reached its ninth edition. In this, they quoted from Browning: ”Man must pass from old to new, From vain to real, from mistake to fa.ct, From what
once seemed good, to what now proves best: How could man have progression otherwise?"
