    AHMED H. ZEWAIL 26 february 1946 . 2 august 2016 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 162, NO. 2, JUNE 2018 biographical memoirs t is often proclaimed that a stylist is someone who does and says things in memorable ways. From an analysis of his experimental Iprowess, his written contributions, his lectures, and even from the details of the illustrations he used in his published papers or during his lectures to scientific and other audiences, Ahmed Zewail, by this or any other definition, was a stylist par excellence. For more than a quarter of a century, I interacted with Ahmed (and members of his family) very regularly. Sometimes he and I spoke several times a week during long-distance calls. Despite our totally different backgrounds we became the strongest of friends, and we got on with one another like the proverbial house on fire. We collaborated scientifi- cally and we adjudicated one another’s work, as well as that of others. We frequently exchanged culturally interesting stories. We each relished the challenge of delivering popular lectures. In common with very many others, I deem him to be unforgettable, for a variety of different reasons. He was one of the intellectually ablest persons that I have ever met. He possessed elemental energy. He executed a succession of brilliant experiments. And, almost single-handedly, he created the subject of femtochemistry, with all its magnificent manifestations and ramifications. From the time we first began to exchange ideas, I felt a growing affinity for his personality and attitude. This was reinforced when I told him that, ever since I was a teenager, I had developed a deep interest in Egyptology and a love for modern Egypt.

D. advisor, Professor Peter Dervan, for giving me just the right mixture of freedom and guidance in order to pursue my interests and yet to turn my energy into useful science. The training I've received has far exceeded anything I could have imagined just a few years ago. I am particularly grateful to Professor Dervan for supporting my decision to leave Caltech during my second year and then taking me back into his group with enthusiasm and compassion. My thesis committee has taught me, among other things, the important lesson of how to better approach the writing and defending of research proposals. I am grateful to Professors Robert H. Grubbs, John D. Roberts, Richard W. Roberts, and Stephen L. Mayo for these lessons as well as helpful conversations over the years. Special thanks goes to Professor John D. Roberts for the privilege of his discerning attention during this past year. The work of Professor Uli Laemmli provided much inspiration for the theses presented here. I look to Professor Laemmli with great admiration and respect as a scientist, and I am grateful to him for advocating my work during his visit to Caltech. Much appreciation goes to Professor John Love and Dr Scott Ross for teaching me macromolecular NMR and being supportive throughout our fruitful collaboration.

Baldeschwieler, J. Stanley Johnson Professor and professor of chemistry, emeritus, in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Dr. Baldeschwieler received his bachelor’s in chemical engineering from Cornell in 1956 and his PhD in 1959 from UC Berkeley. He begins by recalling his childhood and early education in Cranford, N.J. His father, an analytical chemist, emigrated from Switzerland and his mother from Manitoba. He matriculated at Cornell in 1951 and enrolled in ROTC during the Korean War. Recalls summer work at Los Alamos and graduate school at Berkeley 1956-1959; his thesis on infrared spectroscopy, with George Pimentel; interest in instrument building. After six months’ active duty at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., joins the Harvard faculty; becomes a consultant for Aberdeen. Early work with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Invited to Stanford as associate professor in 1965, where he works on electron cyclotron resonance, in connection with Varian Associates. Joins Army Scientific Advisory Panel; works on “people sensors” during the Vietnam War. Appointed to PSAC (President’s Science Advisory Committee); discussion of defoliant Agent Orange. Becomes deputy director of http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Baldeschwieler_J the Office of Science and Technology in 1970, during first Nixon administration; takes a leave from Stanford and moves to Washington, D.C.

I am grateful for the strong support the Department has received from the College of Letters and Science, and for the support I have received from my colleagues in the Department. As a result my eighteen months as Chair have been rewarding (and stimulating and busy!). The Badger Chemist, under the exceptional editorship of our Executive Director, Matt Sanders, is a wonderful vehicle for communicating our activities to alumni and friends. This issue of the Badger Chemist highlights our activities of the 2004-05 academic year, and indeed, there were many! On the teaching front, we continue to make significant efforts to excel. These efforts include training TAs in the fall, mentoring new faculty, and securing federal funding for research in education.
