  • Edward M. Eyring
    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

    ALUMNI NEWSLETTER SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS at Urbana-Champaign NO. 11, WINTER 1976-77 The State of the Union (Comments by H. S. Gutowsky, director of the School of Chemical Sciences) Following the tradition of the last three issues of the Alumni Newsletter, I have put together a synopsis of some selected material that appears in much more detail in the 1975-76 Annual Report of the School of Chemical Sci­ ences and is not covered elsewhere in this issue. If you would like more details, let me know and I will be happy to forward you a copy of the com­ plete annual report. Instructional Program Two steps were taken dw·ing the past year to address the fact that 75 per­ cent or more of our chemistry graduates take positions in industry without learning much in their programs about the nature of industrial careers. Professor Peter Beak organized a special topics course, Chemistry 433, Re­ search in Industry, given in the fall semester. Early in the course, Dr. J. K. Stille from the University of Iowa presented a series of ten lectures on the fundamentals of industrial and polymer chemistry. This was followed by eleven weekly lectures from industrial speakers active in chemical roles. The program attracted a good deal of interest among our students and staff and its beneficial effects were visible to industrial recruiters interviewing here near its end. The second step was the inauguration of a cooperative program with Monsanto Company (St. Louis) for the summer employment of graduate students. Three entering graduate students participated in the summer of 1976, and it is hoped to extend the program to a larger number of students (and other companies) as well as to faculty next summer.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS at Urbana-Champaign NO. 7, WINTER 1972-73 A Busy Week in June Seldom have so many worthy events been crowded into one week as have graced the people of the School of Chemical Sciences this June 9-15, 1972. Dr. H. E. Carter's portrait was hung in the Chemistry Library along with those of Parr, Noyes, and Adams; Dr. Philip Handler was honored at com­ mencement as a Distinguished Alumnus of the University; East Chemistry was dedicated as the Roger Adams Laboratory; and Alpha Chi Sigma held its Biennial National Conclave on our campus. Individually and in com­ bination these celebrations brought together in Urbana students, faculty, former faculty, alumni, distinguished guests, family, and friends from far corners. Roger Adams Laboratory Dedicated Several years ago, the Board of Trustees of the University ruled that campus buildings should have names that describe their function rather than names commemorating influential University people. Fortunately, however, the board modified this rule for a very special occasion last summer, and autho­ rized the changing of the name of East Chemistry Building to the Roger Adams Laboratory. The building was dedicated with this new name on Sun­ day, June 11, as the opening event of the Biennial National Conclave of the professional chemistry fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma. Professor Gutowsky presided at the ceremony, introducing first Dr. J. W. Peltason, Chancellor of the Upiversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who paid tribute to Professor Adams and his work.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1974 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. THEODORE WILLIAM RICHARDS January 31, 1868-April 2, 1928 BY JAMES BRYANT CONANT HEODORE WILLIAM RICHARDS was a precocious son of distin- Tguished parents. He was born in Philadelphia on January 31, 1868, the third son and fifth child of William Trost Richards and Anna Matlack Richards, who had been married on June 30, 1856. As strict members of the Society of Friends, the Matlack family looked askance at a young man who earned his living painting pictures. Anna was "read out of meeting." The Quaker marriage ceremony took place in the house of a friend. The first months of the honeymoon were devoted to the com- position and illustration of a manuscript volume of poems for the lady who had first brought the young couple together. A mutual interest in Browning and Tennyson had started an acquaintanceship which rapidly became a romance. An old friend and fellow artist of Philadelphia reminiscing long after W. T. Richards had established his reputation as a landscape painter said, "He amazed me by getting married and resigning his position as designer [in a local firm manufacturing gas fixtures] in order to devote himself entirely to his art.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1960 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN ULRIC NEF' June 14,1862-August 13,1915 BY MELVILLE L. WOLFROM OHN ULRIC NEF was a great pioneer in American chemistry. It was J he, along with Arthur Michael and Ira Remsen, who was mainly responsible for the transfer to the universities of the United States of the tenets of the actively growing science of organic chemistry from the laboratories of the great European universities of the time. Nef was a pioneer in theoretical organic chemistry, a great experimental- ist, and an inspiring trainer of men. His advanced students, the Ph.D. trainees, went into positions in the American universities, and espe- cially in the Middle West, determined to carry on the tradition of research. In the words of one: "We were determined to keep some research going if it were only to boil water." This establishment of chemical research in the American universities was carried out under the most difficult of conditions and with little support or understand- ing on the part of the administrators of these growing institutions, who mainly considered the science departments, in the liberal arts colleges, as units which cost a lot of money and produced results of doubtful cultural value.
