At this moment we have 41 tenured many years since we have and tenure-track faculty members with 21 Full, 8 Associate assembled a newsletter and 12 Assistant Professors. With the average age of 41, for the Department of several of us bemoan the fact that we are now in the older Chemistry. One of the half (or even smaller fraction) of the faculty. It means, great outcomes of the however, that the level of energy and enthusiasm is almost alumni breakfast as hard to contain as the growing size of many research meetings we host at the groups. The growth in grant income reflects this change national ACS meetings and the number of postdoctoral associates has doubled has been the realization that you are interested in keeping over the last few years. In the Fall of 2001 our incoming in touch with us. This has provided us with the motivation class of 49 graduate students included several with major needed to prepare this letter.

Boeckman, Jr. was born August 26, 1944 in Pasadena, California. After early schooling in Dayton, Ohio, he received his Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry in 1966 from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University). He moved on to Brandeis University where he received the Ph.D. degree under the supervision of James B. Hendrickson and Ernest Grunwald in 1970. He then joined the research group of Gilbert Stork in 1970 as an NIH postdoctoral fellow. He began his academic career at Wayne State University in 1972, where he rose to the rank of Professor in 1979. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Rochester where he is currently Marshall D. Gates Jr. Professor of Chemistry. In 1976, he was married to Mary H. Delton. Among his academic honors are included an A.P. Sloan Fellowship, a Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health, and an ACS Cope Scholar Award. He has been a Fellow of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, was twice awarded an Alexander Von Humboldt Stiftung Research Prize for Senior Scientists, and named a Marshall Gates Scholar by the University of Rochester. He is an inaugural ACS Fellow and a Fellow of the AAAS. From 1997 until 2016, he served as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Organic Chemistry.

  • William S. Johnson
    William S. Johnson February 24, 1913 - August 19, 1995 William S, Johnson was a highly respected leader among research chemists and educators while, at the same time, he was humble about his accomplishments. His career spanned an explosive period of rapid progress in science and he was at the cutting edge of many of the basic changes that have taken place. His deep respect and love for science led to a career that was characterized by creative, insightful and thorough research and resulted in a body of work on steroid synthesis that is unparalleled for its thorough comprehensive coverage. Bill Johnson did his undergraduate studies at Amherst College, an institution that has spawned a number of chemical leaders. After finishing his doctoral work with Professor Louis Fieser at Harvard University in late 1939 and a brief postdoctoral stint at Harvard with Professor R.P. Linstead, Johnson began his independent academic career at the University of Wisconsin in 1940. The research program that Johnson initiated was directed at the development of methodology for the synthesis of steroids. While the approaches would change over the years, this theme would become the dominant direction for Bill Johnson's research effort over his entire academic career. The "Wisconsin era" was devoted to a classical approach to the total synthesis of the steroid skeleton and resulted in the development of the benzylidene blocking group for the angular methylation of a-decalone type molecules, the use of the Stobbe reaction for the synthesis of the aromatic steroids equilenin and estrone, and the "hydrochrysene approach" to the total synthesis of nonaromatic steroids.
