The Society for Analytical Chemists was organized in 1942 by a group of chief chemists and research analysts to provide for an interchange of ideas, develop solutions to problems in analytical chemistry, and to encourage sociability among practitioners of the same profession. In 1945, this society became affiliated with the Pitts- burgh Section of the American Chemical Society as its Analytical Group. Its first Analytical Symposium on prob- lems of current interest was held on February 6, 1946, with interest and participation in these symposia showing growth.
