Over the years the authors of this column changed several times and with this issue a new crew takes over. In the years to come, DAC will do its best to intensify communication and exchange of ideas within our community. This refers first of all to the DAC itself i.e. the Delegates and Observers who constitute the interfaces to national chemical societies and allied organizations they represent. At the same time the DAC will seek closer contacts to the individual analytical chemist and will develop convenient ways of communication. By invitation of the Slovak Chemical Society, the Annual Meeting was held in Bratislava on 5 September 1999. It was linked to two important meetings, namely: the Symposium "Analytical Chemistry and Law", held in Vienna (Austria) on 3-4 September, and the EURACHEM Workshop "The Status of Traceability in Chemical Measurement", held in Bratislava (Slovakia) on 6-8 September 1999,. The reports given, discussed and endorsed during the Annual Meeting encompassed the full range of DAC activities. They were given by the Chairman, the Heads of the three DAC Study Groups (Education: Prof. D.T. Burns, UK; Quality Assurance and Accreditation: Prof. W. Wegscheider, Austria; History: Prof. H. Malissa, Austria) and the two Task Forces, as well as by the organizers a number of conferences including Euroanalysis X, XI and XII.

29. History - Dept. Of Chemistry - UIUC The year 1926 must be regarded as another milestone in the history of the department, Illinois chemists, following the example of Professor Noyes, http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/chem/history_fuson1.html

MILESTONES AND MEDALS By Reynold C. Fuson The foregoing historical sketch by Professor Samuel W. Parr, written in 1916 and covering the first half of the century of chemistry and chemical engineering, makes clear that 1868, 1901 and 1907 were outstanding chemical dates at the University. But probably the author little suspected that 1916 would loom as one of our most conspicuous milestones; it witnessed not only the completion of the new building but also the arrival of Roger Adams. Adams found Carl S. (Speed) Marvel, then a graduate student, and with Professor Noyes they form a magnetic nucleus that was to make Urbana a Mecca for organic chemists. Jointly they were to win practically all the honors offered organic chemists in this country. But to have Illinois famous principally for organic chemistry was far from the ideal that Professor Noyes cherished; rather he wanted strength in each division and set about finding the chemists he needed for this purpose. The fact that he was highly successful, now known to everybody, stands as a monument to his great ability as an administrator. The year 1926 must be regarded as another milestone in the history of the department, for then the headship passed from Noyes to Adams. An idea of the Noyes heritage may be given by listing a few men who were destined to play leading roles in the future (the universities from which they came are indicated in parentheses): Roger Adams (Harvard), Arthur M. Buswell (Columbia), Duane T. Englis (Illinois), B. Smith Hopkins (John Hopkins), Donald B. Keyes (California), Carl S. Marvel (Illinois), Thomas Phipps (California), John H. Reedy (Yale), Worth H. Rodebush (California), William C. Rose (Yale), and G. Frederick Smith (Michigan).

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOIL CHEMISTRY by L. S. Sonon, M. A. Chappell and V.P. Evangelou IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY AGRONOMY DEPARTMENT AMES, IA In the Beginning The emergence of the discipline we call "Soil Chemistry" began with the early observations by experimenters concerning the ability of soils to modify solutions. In 1819, the Italian chemist, Gazzeri , observed that liquid manure, once passed over clay particles became discolored without losing its soluble substances. In similar work, Huxtable noticed in 1848 that soils also served to deodorize liquid manure. The study of soils as a chemical entity formerly began with J. Thomas Way Way became familiar with the work of H.S. Thompson, who reported in 1845 that when he leached a soil column with ammonium sulfate, to his surprise, calcium sulfate ran out the other end. Experimenting with different soils, pipe clays, and some "home-made" alumino-silicates, Way demonstrated that soils could retain cations such as NH , K , and Na , in exchange for equivalent amounts of Ca ions.

The Glenn H. Brown Liquid Crystal Institute, established in 1965 First location Lincoln Street, Kent Science Research Laboratory Present location Liquid Crystal and Materials Sciences Building LCI Founder Glenn H. Brown T he LCI was named in honor of its founder, Dr. Glenn H. Brown, by the Kent State University Board of Trustees in 1986. Brown, a faculty member in Kent's Chemistry Department from 1961-1985 and Regents Professor from 1968-1985, established the LCI in 1965 and served as its director until his retirement in 1983. In 1965, the Kent State University Board of Trustees authorized the formation of the Liquid Crystal Institute under Glenn Brown's direction. Other scientists at Kent joined in seeking funding for liquid crystal research. Major grants came from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and U.S. defense agencies. Research at the Institute, in collaboration with the Departments of Chemistry and Physics, helped establish the field of liquid crystals as an active area in both of these disciplines. In 1990, the National Science Foundation selected a consortium of Kent State University, Case Western Reserve University, and the University of Akron to serve as Ohio's only Science and Technology Research Center.

35. Early UNL Chemistry History Nicholson had had six years of success at teaching chemistry which resulted Lloyd, or other early Nebraska chemistry history or if you have information http://chem-mgriep2.unl.edu/GriepPages/EarlyChem.html

The University of Nebraska's First Two Chemists as they appeared in the 1895 student yearbook Midway into his career, University of Nebraska's first chemistry professor Hudson H. Nicholson was described as "an organizer, a man of ideas and ideals, of insistence and tact and courage" and that "by dint of his influence and vigilance and zeal...the balance of power went palpably over to the science side of the Colleges for some years to follow." Perhaps the most significant event that began his rise occurred in 1887 when he hired Rachel A. Holloway Lloyd. Nicholson had had six years of success at teaching chemistry which resulted in burgeoning course enrollments. He had convinced the Regents and Chancellor that he needed a colleague to help cover the teaching load and to start the University's first real research program. He had decided to study beet sugar chemistry because that is where the best chemical opportunities would lie for chemists in an agricultural state on the Great Plains. He had met Rachel Lloyd in Summer 1883 when both of them attended the Harvard Short Course in Chemistry and had to have been impressed by her ability and personality. Since that time, she had earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Zurich and begun work in a mining college near London. She accepted Nebraska's offer immediately upon receiving it. Thus began a research program that was important to the industry of the state and which demonstrated the best use of University-based experimental farming at a time when such activity was just beginning. Besides research, she taught introductory chemistry to Freshman and Sophomores and he taught the upper classes. As the analytical chemist, she chose the most promising of her undergraduates to assist her in her analysis for sugar in the beets. One result of this was that she inspired both young women and men to become chemists. Another result was that, during the 1890's and 1900's, the Nebraska section of the American Chemical Society had more women participants than any other section.

PHOTOS BY KEVIN MACDERMOTT PARADE OF ROSES Moore and Heindel lead the procession to Priestley's grave. On Oct. 14, roughly 150 participants from the ACS Central Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, and Susquehanna Valley Sections boarded the Lackawanna Railroad's vintage passenger train at the Joseph Priestley House museum in Northumberland and rode to nearby Danville, enjoying bag lunches and views of fall foliage before turning around in their seats and riding straight back. The tour guide told of the area's once-booming pig iron industry and how, in its heyday, the train line ran straight into lower Manhattan. The original 1926 riders had good reason to head to that little mill town on the Susquehanna River's north branch. Chemists from 15 states, Canada, and Englandfewer than 100 in allmet there on Aug. 1, 1874, to commemorate Priestley's Aug. 1, 1774, discovery of oxygen and discuss subjects relevant to their science. This meeting, held at a local school, is now recognized as the first National Chemistry Congress, and many ACS historians believe it led to ACS's formation two years later on April 6, 1876.
