On the horizon, we saw our ambitious Students First! campaign goal of $100 million grow clearer, so close we could almost touch it. Fiscal year 2013 was historic for Manchester. Despite the lingering effects of the recent recession, we built the largest endowment in Manchester history — $47,293,977 and growing. Our generous donors in the current campaign have earmarked $3.8 million more Mission Statement for the endowment. While our endowment is modest in Manchester University respects the infinite comparison to wealthier schools, we have increased the worth of every individual and graduates persons value significantly in the past nine years. Endowment gifts of ability and conviction who draw upon are vital because they help secure our financial future, their education and faith to lead principled, provide for needs we cannot yet imagine, and create student productive, and compassionate lives that scholarships that help keep education affordable. improve the human condition.

  • 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.

    1 HIST’S SIXTY YEARS OF SPONSORED PUBLICATIONS: AN EXPANDED 2 BIBLIOGRAPHY 3 Mary Virginia Orna ([email protected]) 4 5 INTRODUCTION 6 For sixty years, the Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) has sponsored publications 7 of history-related volumes drawn for the most part from symposia that were presented at 8 American Chemical Society (ACS) meetings. The origin of each volume depended upon 9 individuals who organized symposia, or in some cases, proposed book volumes. It has been 10 the practice of the Division to provide some financial support for these ventures; many 11 organizers were able to obtain additional support from various types of grants and 12 contributions. Generally, the editor of the volume was also the organizer of the event. Except 13 for the Archaeological Chemistry volumes, there were no set series or themes over the years, 14 but the volumes naturally fell into the six categories given in the Outline and Overview of 15 this article. 16 Since this paper has as its goal a permanent record of this HIST-initiated activity, 17 each volume will be highlighted with a re-publication of parts of its Preface and if warranted, 18 some additional information on the contents of the volume. Since a large percentage of the 19 volumes’ contents (titles and abstracts of papers) can be found on the ACS website, 20 [www.acs.org/publications], they will not be repeated here but a link to the volume on the 21 ACS website will be provided. However, several volumes were published elsewhere, and 22 even some volumes published by the ACS have no presence on its website.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.
