刘树杞是本世纪二、三十年代我国的一位杰出的科学家和教育家。他学问渊博、才华横溢,曾为我国近代科学、教育的发展起了重要作用,在理工结合、教学与科研并重和培养科技人才方面,做出过重要贡献。令人感叹不止的是,由于他工作繁重、用脑过度、积劳成疾,不幸患心脏衰弱之症,经多方治疗无效,正在他年富力强的黄金时代,顽症夺去了他宝贵的生命。 Liu Shuqi is one of our country’s outstanding scientists and educators in the 1920s and 1930s. He is profound and talented, has played an important role in the development of modern science and education in our country, and has made important contributions in the combination of science and engineering, the emphasis on teaching and research, and the cultivation of science and technology personnel. It is lamentable that he is deprived of his precious life due to his heavy workload, over-brains, poor health, and his unfortunate heart-failure. After being treated in various ways, he is in his prime of his golden age.
