  • The Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents 1841 T0 2021
    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.

[email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, the author reviews literature concerning the great Mendeleev’s achievements in the seventies of the XIX century, i.e. discovery of the periodic law and fulfillment of his early predictions of unknown elements. Special attention was paid to the references concerning these achievements by chemists – authors of the English, German, and French chemical books in 1871 – 1917. This review was enriched with: 1) selected facts from Mendeleev’s life and scientific activity; 2) Mendeleev’s stay abroad and participation in some celebrities, and 3) a list of the authors of his biography in Russia and other countries in the world. Keywords: D.I.

Se prestó especial atención a las referencias sobre estos logros por los químicos - autores de los libros de química en inglés, alemán y francés en 1871 - 1917. Esta revisión se enriqueció con: 1) hechos seleccionados de la vida y la actividad científica de Mendeleiev; 2) la estancia de Mendeleev en el extranjero y la participación en algunas celebridades, y 3) una lista de los autores de su biografía en Rusia y en otros países del mundo.

Their History and Identification on Fabric. by Rosemary M. Baker BSc, MA Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SCHOOL OF HISTORY Doctor of Philosophy NINETEENTH CENTURY SYNTHETIC TEXTILE DYES. THEIR HISTORY AND IDENTIFICATION ON FABRIC. by Rosemary Molly Baker Textile dyes have been the subject of many studies from the varied perspectives of historians, conservators and scientists. Most of these have focused on natural compounds but nineteenth century synthetic dyes form the basis of this thesis. The dual areas of interest have been the social history of those dyes developed between the introduction of Mauveine in 1856 and the end of the century and the investigation of novel spectroscopic methods for their identification in situ on textiles.

    UNIVERSITÉ DE NANTES FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES ET DES TECHNIQUES _____ ÉCOLE DOCTORALE Sociétés, cultures, échanges (SCE) Année 2013 Histoire du concept d’ion au dix-neuvième siècle ___________ THÈSE DE DOCTORAT Discipline : Epistémologie, Histoire des sciences et des techniques Présentée et soutenue publiquement par Axel PETIT Le 11 décembre 2013, devant le jury ci-dessous Président Gérard EMPTOZ, Professeur des universités honoraire, Université de Nantes Rapporteurs Michel PATY, Directeur de recherche CNRS, Docteur d’État, Université Paris-Diderot Scott WALTER, Maître de conférences HDR, Université de Lorraine Examinateurs Danielle FAUQUE, Docteur, Université Paris-Sud Virginie FONTENEAU, Maître de conférences, Université Paris-Sud Pierre TEISSIER, Maître de conférences, Université de Nantes Stéphane TIRARD, Professeur des universités, Université de Nantes Directeur de thèse : Guy BOISTEL, Docteur HDR Remerciements Cette thèse est le résultat d’influences multiples et de réflexions apportées par plusieurs membres du Centre François Viète. Trois personnes se sont particulièrement impliquées dans mon travail. En premier lieu, Guy Boistel, qui a dirigé mes recherches, m’a permis de réaliser que l’histoire des sciences ne peut se concevoir sans érudition, et qu’il est nécessaire d’y trouver du plaisir. Ensuite, Stéphane Tirard a su m’éclairer avec patience sur la portée globale de mon travail quand je n’en cernais que des détails disparates. Enfin, Pierre Teissier, en m’orientant vers une bibliographie que je connaissais très peu, a ouvert l’horizon de l’histoire que j’expose ici. Mes positionnements épistémologiques dépendent largement de ses suggestions. Je les remercie vivement tous les trois pour le temps qu’ils ont su m’accorder, cette thèse leur est largement redevable.
