CLARENCE P. BERG, 93, professor emeritus of biochemistry at the University of Iowa, died in Iowa City on May 3. Berg received an A.B. degree in chemistry from Augustana College, Rock Island, HI., in 1924, and a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from the University of Illinois in 1929, working with W. C. Rose. While at Illinois, he developed an interest in the preparation, racemization, resolution, and nutritional significance of Land D-amino acids. He joined the faculty of the University of Iowa as an instructor in 1929 and became professor of biochemistry in 1945. Except for the summers of 1948 and 1968, and the spring of 1970, which were spent teaching at other universities, Iowa City remained Berg's home from 1929 until his death. The introductory course in biochemistry he taught inspired generations of students. Between 1934 and 1960, 31 students completed their Ph.D. work in his lab studying the nutritional significance of amino acids as determined by growth and
