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.

2018 Xingda Lecture Schedule
兴大报告年报 Xingda Lecture Yearbook Preface At the turning point to reform and boost its research and education system in 1995, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME) at Peking University, China, proposed to set up a science forum to foster idea refreshments and brainstorming between its faculty and outside scientists, aiming at broadening its collaborations with institutions of chemical sciences and educations all over the world. Against all odds, CCME and Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems hit it off instantly to jointly establish the Xingda Lecture Series. Thanks to its enthusiasm for science, Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems has been financially supporting this lecture series ever since then. From the very beginning, Prof. Chunhua Yan had been serving as the organizer of this lecture series until 2015 after which Prof. Kai Wu was named as the successor. The Xingda Lecture Series is held on every Friday throughout the academic year. Up to the time this booklet was edited, about 500 scientists had been invited to give talks at the Xingda Lecture Series which nearly cover all the research areas in chemistry and related disciplines. Needless to say, this lecture series won’t be able to last without great contribution from these scientists. With the great success of the Xingda Lecture series that has already benefited the faculty and students at CCME and the science communities inside and outside PKU as well, CCME in 2015 made the decision to upgrade this forum to the Xingda Lectureship that would be held by invited renowned and distinguished scientists from all over the world. This is also echoing the mission of Peking University in the new century which is to advance sciences and cultivate next-generation scientists for the betterment of humanity.

Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund
Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Chemistry at Magdalen and the University of Oxford Chemistry has a long history at the University of Oxford. The Department of Chemistry is the largest chemistry department in the UK and one of the largest in the western world. Oxford chemists have won at least nine Nobel prizes including Magdalen Fellow Sir Robert Robinson (Chemistry, 1947, for investigations of plant products), Frederic Soddy (Physics, 1921, for his discovery of isotopes), and Dorothy Hodgkin (Chemistry, 1964, for the x-ray structure of penicillin). One of the earliest notable Magdalen chemists was Charles Daubeny (1795–1867). After studying at Magdalen under John Kidd, Daubeny simultaneously held Chairs in Chemistry, Botany, and Geology. However, interest in the sciences can be traced back to the Magdalen’s founder, William of Waynflete, and it was in his honour that the highly distinguished Waynflete Professorships (in Metaphysical Philosophy, Chemistry, Physiology and Pure Mathematics) were established in 1857. The Waynflete Professor of Chemistry has been the University’s most distinguished Chair in Organic Chemistry ever since, and holders have included Professors Sir Benjamin Brodie, William Odling, William Henry Perkin, Sir Robert Robinson (Nobel Laureate, 1947), Sir Jack Baldwin and the current incumbent, Stephen G Davies. The present day Of the 28 Colleges offering Chemistry, Magdalen is one of only five fortunate enough to have a full complement of three Tutorial Fellows in Chemistry: Professors Tim Donohoe (Organic), Andrew Weller (In- organic) and Stuart Mackenzie (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry). Each of these also runs an internation- ally–leading research group in the Department of Chemistry.
