Abstract
In the midst of his work Van Slooten has been suddenly called away
at the relatively early age of 61. It was known that his heart was not too
good, but it was expected that living a quiet life he would be able to finish
his life's work, the monograph of the Malaysian Dipterocarpaceae, to
which he had been able since 1951 to devote all his time and concentration
undisturbed by other duties. The striving towards the completion of this
work on the most important family of Malaysian forest trees always
occupied his mind and had been to a large extent the main object of his life.
Van Slooten's ambition was to produce careful work, meticulous in
all details. This made him a slow worker, but at the same time one of the
trustworthy kind. This trend towards perfectionism expressed itself
equally in the preliminaries and routine work towards his objective.
Through his method of working progress was steady but unfortunately
relatively slow. Other factors beyond his control added to this result.
Besides delays due to World War II, Van Slooten performed many other
official duties in the same earnest way in which he carried out his
research work. Any spontaneity and opportunism he had in his character
was suppressed through his orderliness. Only in exceptional and very
urgent circumstances would he make decisions a l'improviste. It is of
course questionable whether one can deduce a man's character from his
published writings. Whether this thesis be accepted as a generality or not,
it is certain that it held for Van Slooten. His care for details, for straight-
forwardness, for trying to find the truth in his work found a remarkable
parallel in his office work, and his private life. He wanted things to be
clean and orderly. Even on excursions, which he made surprisingly seldom,
his clothes were as speckless as they could possibly be in the circumstances.
