  • Cornell Chemistry
    CORNELL CHEMISTRY Chairman's Column In the last issue of Cornell Chemistry, Roald Hoffmann told you that he was stepping down as department chairman and kindly introduced me as his successor. Here, I have the opportunity to thank Roald, in the name of all Cornell chemists, past, present, and future, for his many efforts on behalf of us all. We are well aware of Roald's illustrious scientific achievements; I can tell you that he also applied his extraordinary skills to the administration of this office to strengthen and make more secure the framework upon which depends the future success of the department. Thank you Roald, and please stay close to the telephone because I have a lot of questions! One question I can now answer is, "What, exactly, does the chairman do"? Having served on the job since the beginning of July, I have at least a rough THE NEWSLETTER idea. Surprisingly, there is relatively little routine paperwork to worry about. OF THE Most all of the administrative details are handled quite admirably by our efficient staff under the direction of Earl Peters, our Executive Director. He and I work DEPARTMENT OF closely together on a day-to-day basis; yes, one of my first acts in office was CHEMISTRY approving the new Chemistry Department dog ordinance. On an altogether AND THE SOCIETY OF different intellectual plane are some more interesting issues. How can we continue our long tradition of excellence in research, teaching, and service? CORNELL CHEMISTS How do we make available the resources required to make us even a stronger department? Cornell University Baker Laboratory In many ways, we stand at the threshold of the 21st Century.
