    Edward M. Eyring

    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1997 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. LINUS CARL PAULING February 28, 1901–August 19, 1994 BY JACK D. DUNITZ INUS CARL PAULING was born in Portland, Oregon, on LFebruary 28, 1901, and died at his ranch at Big Sur, California, on August 19, 1994. In 1922 he married Ava Helen Miller (died 1981), who bore him four children: Linus Carl, Peter Jeffress, Linda Helen (Kamb), and Edward Crellin. Pauling is widely considered the greatest chemist of this century. Most scientists create a niche for themselves, an area where they feel secure, but Pauling had an enormously wide range of scientific interests: quantum mechanics, crys- tallography, mineralogy, structural chemistry, anesthesia, immunology, medicine, evolution. In all these fields and especially in the border regions between them, he saw where the problems lay, and, backed by his speedy assimilation of the essential facts and by his prodigious memory, he made distinctive and decisive contributions. He is best known, perhaps, for his insights into chemical bonding, for the discovery of the principal elements of protein secondary structure, the alpha-helix and the beta-sheet, and for the first identification of a molecular disease (sickle-cell ane- mia), but there are a multitude of other important contri- This biographical memoir was prepared for publication by both The Royal Society of London and the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.

    John D. Roberts

    John D. (Jack) Roberts 1918 – 2016 John D. Roberts, the Institute Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, and one of the most influential chemists of the 20th century, passed away on October 29, 2016 at the age of 98 following a stroke. John Dombrowski “Jack” Roberts was born on June 8, 1918 in Los Angeles, California. He spent most of his 98 years in Southern California and witnessed first hand its transformation from a reasonably under- populated region into one of the world’s busiest metropolitan areas. In fact, Jack (or “JDR” as he was oft referred in the labs at Caltech) was born essentially right underneath what is now the famous four level interchange connecting the 101 and 110 freeways in modern day downtown LA. JDR also witnessed the growth and explosion of science and in particular chemistry over that century span. As summarized in his J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 4897-4917 article and numerous talks over the later part of his life, the explosion of instrumentation capabilities available to the organic chemist progressed in the course of his scientific career from no less than the melting point apparatus to some of the most advanced instruments on the planet. Without doubt, the advances most influential to JDR’s monumental career in chemistry were the advent of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and the accompanying explosion in computing. Combined, these tools greatly facilitated the insightfully designed experimentation and careful analyses that became the hallmark of JDR’s career. It is clear that Jack’s thoroughgoing nature combined with his deep understanding of instrumentation and fundamental chemistry served as an inspiration to nearly four generations of scientists.

    FALL 2014 Welcome from the Head Construction Begins on Greetings from the Department of Chemistry! This has been Science Learning Center another successful year for UGA Chemistry, and I am pleased to report more good news about our department, faculty and students. University enrollment continues to grow each year – this fall, the university enrolled 35,197 students. The increase in student numbers, particularly in the rapidly growing engineering program, has created significant extra demand for Chemistry courses. This growth in instructional demand will help us to make a case for the continued growth of our faculty numbers. As I have mentioned in the past, faculty recruiting is one of the most significant and satisfying parts of my job. Jon Amster In the last year, we were able to recruit a new organic faculty member. Prof. Eric Ferreira comes to us from Colorado State University, where he established a successful and well-funded research program in synthetic organic chemistry. Eric and four Rendering of the future Science Learning Center of his graduate students moved to Athens over the summer. While his laboratory renovations are taking place, his students are hard at work in temporary space, and his program has hit he long-awaited Science Learning Center (SLC) the ground running.
