Infinitary Logic: In Memoriam Carol Karp

Carol Karp died on August 20, 1972 after a brave battle against cancer which had lasted for three long years (I) To her, teaching had always been more than a duty, and even during her illness she taught all her classes in addition to carrying out her administrative tasks. Her research, tod, was pushed forward with her usual determination, but unfortunately the planned new monograph on infinitary languages remained unfinished. Her early work was collected in her one published book, but she realized that it very much needed to be brought up to date.
