He taught a central course in the graduate curriculum in chemistry at Columbia University, and he taught it with a continuing interest that reached deeply into the history of the subject as well as into the logic of its organization. He expected much of his students: He could be emphatic in his disapproval of carelessness or incompetence, but he could be equally emphatic in his praise of ability and accomplishment.

His studies on acid-base equilibria in that solvent were especially significant. In 1933 he questioned the prevalent myth that activation energy is independent of temperature, and shortly thereafter he and his students demonstrated experimentally that it does depend sharply on temperature for reactions involving ions in solution.

Novel studies of the rate of evaporation through surface monolayers also combine scientific interest with potential applications of value for the conservation of water supplies. Victor Kuhn LaMer was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on June 15, 1895, the son of Joseph Secondule LaMer and Anna Pauline Kuhn.

He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1948. He was also a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Physical Society, the Faraday Society, and Sigma Xi and Phi Lambda Upsilon; he was a Fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences, of which he had been President in 1949.
