Less than three months before his death on December 24th 1953, Emil Heuser was still conducting seminars on cellulose in Seattle and in Portland. Although he realized that he had certain serious physical disabilities, his verve and enthusiasm never flagged and his interest in Nature s most abundant polysaccharide was ever maintained. A friendly humorist termed him Dr. Cellulose, and in many ways this cognomen described him aptly, although it failed to account for his many other interests and facets. 

This particular issue was dedicated entirely to Emil Heuser, and contained articles by a number of his former students, including Bichard Bartunek, Walter Brecht, August Brotz, Julius Funke, and Karl Hegel. 

Milus had a continental and rather sardonic sense of humor. In his final trip into Washington and Oregon, lecturing three hours each day, he seemed as buoyant as ever, but, when this was remarked upon, he said, wryly, After last examining me, my doctor said Heuser, I m surprised that, with your heart, you are still alive . Unfortunately, the medico s prognosis was all too accurate. On Christmas Eve of that same year, Emil Heuser died quietly in his sleep.

His scientific achievements live on in his publications and in the accomplishments of the many students he inspired. As Dr. Emil Heuser remarked, some two weeks after Hibbert s death, in an address (on Hibbert s work) before the North-East Wisconsin Section of the American Chemical Society Cellulose and lignin chemists, the world over, have lost a great deal through Professor Hibbert s death. He will long be remembered, not only by his personal friends but also by those who have benefitted from his work and those who will do so for many years to come. ...
