Material: Abstract: E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company, which began as a manufacturer of gunpowder in 1802. The collection consists of photographs and prints that document the early history of the DuPont Company's involvement in the gunpowder and explosives industries from the 1860s through the 1920s. The bulk of the collection are photographs of employees, executives, and plant views, including aftermaths of explosions and construction. This collection also includes a variety of advertisements for the DuPont Company as well as other non-DuPont related trades. A large portion of this collection are oversize materials (panoramic photographs and advertising posters). ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company, commonly referred to as the DuPont Company which was established in 1802 by French immigrants Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (1739-1817) and his son Eleuthe#re Ire#ne#e "E.I." du Pont (1771-1834). The company began as a manufacturer of gunpowder. The du Pont's purchased a mill on the banks of the Brandywine River just north of Wilmington, Delaware and named the site Eleutherian Mills. In 1813, du Pont purchased neighboring land which had been called Hagley. He retained the name and the area became known as Hagley Yards. In 1837, E.I. du Pont's son Alfred V. du Pont (1798-1856) became President of the company. By 1850 Alfred du Pont resigned and his younger brother Henry du Pont (1812-1889) succeeded him as President. - Page 3- DuPont Company Museum collection 1968.001 In 1857, Alfred du Pont's son Lammot du Pont (1831-1884) developed B blasting powder, using Chilean sodium nitrate instead of the previously used potassium nitrate (saltpeter) from India. This process would later influence the company's decision to purchase lands in Chile. After the Civil War, the DuPont company had two major competitors, the Hazard Powder Company, and Laflin & Rand Powder Company. DuPont took over the Hazard Powder Company in 1876. Laflin & Rand and the DuPont Company partnered in a joint venture which was spearheaded by Lammot du Pont, who in 1880 incorporated the Repauno Chemical Company to manufacture dynamite. His cousin William du Pont (1855-1928), Henry du Pont's son, was appointed to help Lammot du Pont with the company. After Lammot du Pont's death in an explosion on March 29, 1884, William du Pont became president until resigning in 1892. In 1890, at the request of the U.S. government, the E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company started scientific research on smokeless powder. The DuPont Company began the manufacture of smokeless powder at its new works at Carney's Point, New Jersey, in 1891 to 1893. Inventor and chemist Hudson Maxim (1853-1927), sold many of his explosives and smokeless gunpowder patents to DuPont in 1897. DuPont established a laboratory for him where he continued to produce inventions relating to explosives, ordnance, and torpedoes through the 1910s. In 1889 Eugene du Pont (1873-1954) took over from Henry du Pont as President of the company until his death in 1902. After Eugene du Pont's death the DuPont Company was in danger of folding and being bought out by its competitor, Laflin & Rand, when three cousins; T. Coleman du Pont (1863-1930), Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954) and Alfred I. du Pont (1864-1935) purchased the company. T. Coleman du Pont became President and DuPont took control of Laflin & Rand, including the Haskell Works which manufactured Infallible and Ballistite powders. Hamilton Barksdale (1862-1918), J. Amory Haskell (1861-1923), and Harry G. Haskell (1870-1951) were three key members of DuPont's Executive Committee. Barksdale became the director of the High Explosives Department, which included research operations at Repauno's Eastern Laboratory. J.A. Haskell helped found the Eastern Laboratory and hired chemist Dr. Charles L. Reese (1862-1940), who was the first director of the laboratory and a pioneer of explosives research. H.G. Haskell worked at Repauno, was a DuPont vice president, a member of the Executive Committee and served on the company's Board of Directors. Throughout the early 1900s DuPont expanded considerably. In 1903 DuPont established the Experimental Station, a research facility located across from DuPont's first black powder works. The Parlin, New Jersey site was acquired in 1904 to manufacture paint and photographic products. In 1904, DuPont purchased the Judson Dynamite and Powder Company in California, which operated until August 1905, when there was a dynamite explosion and fire. The plant was dismantled and the property sold. In 1905, Barksdale Explosives Plant in Wisconsin was established to produce dynamite and other explosives for the military during World Wars I and II, and for the mining industry. The Louviers, Colorado plant began production of dynamite in 1908 and provided explosives primarily for mines in the region. Hopewell Works in Virginia was established in 1912 to manufacture dynamite, however, the onset of World War I created a great demand for guncotton. In 1915, Hopewell was converted for that purpose and became the largest guncotton plant in the world. After the war, the plant was sold off for - Page 4- DuPont Company Museum collection 1968.001 other uses. In 1914, a dye works was constructed at Deepwater Point, New Jersey to enter the market for dyes left vacant by Germany's absence. In 1945 the plant name was changed to the Chambers Works. With renewed interest in the nitrate industry Pierre S. du Pont and financial executive, John Raskob (1879-1950) traveled to Chile in 1902 and determined that the company should establish an office there to deal directly with suppliers. In 1909, they purchased nitrate mines and began operating their own company. Although Pierre du Pont had been acting President since 1909 it was not official until 1915 when T. Coleman du Pont retired. Later that year Pierre du Pont looked into purchasing the Norwegian Nitrate Company. He wanted to form the American Nitrate Company and acquire the North American rights of the Norwegian Nitrate Company, however, was unable to due to electrical power restraints. A government suit was brought against the DuPont Company in 1907 and in 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the

    BLUE HEN CHEMIST University of Delaware, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Annual Alumni Newsletter NUMBER 41 AUGUST 2014 JOHN L. BURMEISTER, EDITOR ON THE COVER THREE Newly Renovated Organic Laboratories! # 3 8 - P AGE I BLU E H E N C H E MIST ON THE COVER One of the three newly-renovated Organic Chemistry teaching laboratories (QDH 302) is shown. Work on the labs (QDH 112, 318, 320) started on May, 2013 and was completed in February of this year. The refurbishment of the labs was a crucial step in the ongoing revision of the Organic Chemistry laboratory curricula. The additional fume hoods allow each student to conduct experiments individually while minimizing their exposure to chemical reagents. The transparent glass construction helps teaching assistants observe students while they work. The hoods are equipped with inert-gas lines, which can allow the students to work with air-sensitive compounds and learn advanced laboratory techniques. The hoods are also equipped with vacuum lines, which obviate the need for water aspirators and dramatically reduce the labs' water usage. The lab design also allows for instrumentation modules to be swapped in and out according to the needs of the experiment. Carts are designed to house instruments such as gas chromatographs and infrared spectrometers as well as any necessary computer equipment. These carts can then be wheeled into docking areas that have been fitted with the necessary inert gas and electrical lines. The design expands the range of possible instrumentation the students can use while occupying a small footprint of lab space. The labs also feature large flat screen monitors, wireless internet, and computer connectivitiy that will enable the use of multimedia demonstrations and tablet computing.

The author also thanks Stephen Bainbridge, Lawrence Hamermesh, David Katz, Marty Lipton, Andy Lubin, Sarah Lubin, and the two anonymous referees for excellent feedback and incisive comments on the draft. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2906875 One of the most tired debates in American corporate law has been about the ends of corporate governance. Must, within the limits of their legal discretion, boards of directors act for the best interests of stockholders? Or may they exercise their discretion to advance, as an end in itself, the best interests of other corporate constituencies, such as the corporation’s employees, home communities, and consumers? The reason this debate is a bit tired is because it is not about whether corporate statutes should be amended to give equal credence to other constituencies than stockholders, it is about arguing that corporate laws that give only rights to stockholders somehow implicitly empower directors to regard other constituencies as equal ends in governance. In other words, the debate involves large doses of wish fulfillment, with advocates for other constituencies arguing that the law already is what they in fact think it ought to be.

  • History of Black Powder the Following Is Adapted from "A Chronology of Black Powder" by Richard D Frantz
    History of Black Powder The following is adapted from "A chronology of Black Powder" by Richard D Frantz (Reference: http://footguards.tripod.com/06ARTICLES/ART28_blackpowder.htm) About Black Powder Black Powder is a mixture of three components: Potassium Nitrate ( KNO3 or saltpeter/saltpetre, or nitre/niter). Sulphur/sulphur . Charcoal. Ignition brings about a rapid reaction in which a group of gases is generated, and energy, in the form of heat, is liberated. The heating causes the gases to expand rapidly, producing an explosive force, especially if confined. The faster the reaction, the more powerful is the effectiveness. If this process is fully enclosed, we have a bomb. When the internal pressure exceeds the container's ability to contain it, we have an explosion. If the container has a vent, such as the open end of a gun barrel, the expanding gases may be used to propel a missile up its length. The length of barrel allows the process to sustain a major portion of the initial pressure, while the inertia of the missile is continually overcome. The missile continues to accelerate until it leaves the barrel, at which time, the effects of air resistance, and to a smaller effect, gravity, cause it to decelerate at predictable rates. Black Powder is classified as an explosive. This is because its actions after ignition meet some arbitrary criteria that takes it beyond the sense of "burning" - a slower reaction such as the burning of wood. Black Powder will indeed explode with considerable force if ignited when uncontained. In mining, it was often poured down cracks or into drilled holes to blast apart rock.
