何作霖教授离开我们已经十九个年头了。今天,正值他的八十五岁诞辰,我们深切怀念这位学术导师,不由得回忆起他在科学的田地里辛勤耕耘的一生。何作霖教授以他毕生的心血,为新中国的经济建设贡献了力量,为我国矿物学和岩石学的发展奠定了基础。而今,他的桃李门墙,遍及全国各地,肩负着社会主义四化建设的任务。我们缅怀往事,敬仰之情油然而生。 Professor He Zuolin has left us for nineteen years. Today, at the age of his eighty-fifth birthday, we deeply miss the academic mentor and can not help but recall his hard-working life in the scientific fields. Professor He Zuolin exerted his lifelong devotion and made contributions to the economic construction of New China, laying the foundation for the development of mineralogy and petrology in our country. Nowadays, his peach and plum wall, covering all parts of the country, shoulders the task of building the socialist four modernizations. We cherish the memory of the past, admiration of love arises spontaneously.
