The premature death, at age 53, of John Clinton Sowden removed from the active mainstream of carbohydrate chemistry a major contributor perhaps best described as both a first-rank innovator and an eminent conservative. Sowden s dynamic introduction to the carbohydrates came from his graduate contact with the wide-ranging interests and novel approaches of C. D. Hurd. Yet, through his post-doctoral training with M. L. Wolfrom and his later lengthy collaboration with H. O. L. Fischer, he developed a respect for, and a relationship with, the golden era of carbohydrate chemistry that marked him as a conservative in the best sense.
