UVic Chemistry History of the Chemistry Department pre-1963 The Department of Chemistry at Victoria College , under the headship of Professor Lewis Clark, provided the nucleus for the organization which has grown into the present multi-faceted Department. Prior to the University being granted autonomy in 1963, a special arrangement was in effect with the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, enabling the chemistry students who completed three years work at Victoria to graduate with the BSc degree after completion of a fourth and final year at UBC. In the fall of 1963 the Chemistry Department took up residence on the present campus , occupying part of the science building named to honour Professor Percy Harris Elliott, Professor of Chemistry and Physics, and Principal of Victoria College from 1927 to 1943. The years following 1963 saw a period of growth with many organizational changes and developments, including expansion of the faculty, introduction of new undergraduate courses, commencement of the graduate school (1966) and the establishment of the technical shops. Research activities were expanded and the first major pieces of instrumental equipment were obtained. In 1968, under Dr Stephen Ryce a restructuring commenced, curriculum changes were made, additional accommodation was acquired and support facilities were expanded.

Lindstrom left in 1945 to become an assistant professor in the physics department. He was replaced by Donald H. Cook, a native of White Sulfur Springs, Montana. Cook had received his BS from Montana State College in 1917, served in the army from 1917 to 1919, and obtained his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1923. He came to the department as Professor of Chemistry after 21 years as head of the chemistry department at Columbia School of Tropical Medicine, Puerto Rico. Donald Cook retired in 1956. Hjort also left the department (in effect) in 1945 when he became Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Technically, Hjort still remained a member of the chemistry faculty, but an inactive member with few if any departmental duties. As a fully functioning member of the department, Hjort was replaced by Warren H. Steinbach.

@ import "/CSS/IGPP_plus.css"; Date: [Text taken from the booklet "An International Tribute to Cecil and Ida Green" held in Washington, D. C. in 1979] Cecil Howard Green was born in Manchester, England on August 6, 1900. He was the only son of Charles Henry and Maggie (Howard) Green. In 1902 the family sailed from Liverpool to North America, settling in Sydney, Nova Scotia. During the next several years, Cecil's father worked hard to find his place in his adopted land, and this resulted in an ever-westward migration for the Green family. From Sydney they went to Montreal, Toronto, and San Francisco where, as a witness to the great earthquake of 1906, young Cecil received his first lesson in geophysics. Later in 1906, the Green family made a further move to Vancouver, British Columbia, where Cecil's father found work in the mineral industry as an apprentice electrician. Cecil attended Vancouver's public elementary schools and then went on to King Edward High School. After graduating in 1918, he enrolled in the University of British Columbia, focusing his attention on science and engineering courses with an eye to making electrical engineering his career. His summers were spent working with his father as an electrician's helper. Because of his interest in electrical engineering, his chemistry professor, an M.I.T. graduate, suggested that Cecil apply for admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His application accepted, Cecil entered M.I.T. as a transfer student in 1921. Two years later he graduated in the Class of 1923, receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. He stayed on at M.I.T. for another year, and in 1924, was awarded the Master of Science Degree.

Introduction About Chemistry Courses Students ... FAQs Department History The 1970s were a time of particular transition for the department's faculty. Dr. Olcott left, Dr. Vaughn died, and both Dr. Moose and Mr. Emigh retired. Dr. Robert Mortimer and Dr. David Jeter both became associated with the department as did Dr. Harlie Parish, whose position was that of a research associate, Mr. Steve Glover, the storeroom supervisor, and Ms. Anne McAuley, the departmental secretary. Grants from NSF and the Research Corporation continued to flow into the department along with new instrumentation, and new courses were offered in both organic chemistry and physical chemistry. In 1984, the name of the college was changed to Rhodes College after many years as Southwestern at Memphis and a succession of events moved the department ahead in a substantial way. In the same year, Ms. Evelena Grant became the department's secretary. In response to changes in student interest, the Chemical Biology major was replaced in 1985 by a biochemistry track wholly within the department. A second course in biochemistry was added, and Dr. Lyons was able to direct his entire attention into this area since Dr. Kevin Ogle was hired as the department's analytical chemist. With a successful request to the NSF, Dr. Ogle was able to move the department into the era of Fourier transform instrumentation with the acquisition of an FTIR in 1988. In 1989 both Dr. Lyons and Dr. Gilliom retired from the faculty. Mr. Jeff Goode joined the department as storeroom supervisor in 1989 upon the departure of Mr. Glover.

Sie erlangte das Abitur auf Umwegen, studierte Physik und verzichtete auf ein Familienleben. Sie hatte immerhin das Glück, Mitarbeiterin von James Franck 1946 heiratete Hertha Sponer ihren alten Freund und Mentor, den in Chicago lebenden und verwitweten James Franck. Beide behielten jedoch ihre akademischen Stellungen bei und konnten deshalb nur einige Wochen im Jahr zusammen leben. Hertha Sponer starb 1968 in Deutschland.

BOOK BRIEF reviewed 9/94 The Norton History of Chemistry . William H. Brock. W.W. Norton (1993). ISBN 0-393-31043-4. 744 pp. $15.95 paper ($35 cloth). [published in Can., Eng., Aus., and NZ as The Fontana History of Chemistry.] This new volume has received uniformly favorable reviews. Particular strengths include attention to biographical detail, the social impact of chemical discoveries, and such oft-neglected topics as the development of laboratories and techniques, the supply of apparatus and chemicals, and the problem of purity. A thematic organization (following the history of the chemical bond, for instance) makes it particularly useful for teaching. One reviewer was especially impressed with how Brock has reinspected stories that have, with time, acquired a mythical character and how he has restored to them a fresh reality. Few good comprehensive volumes are available, so teachers may treasure this valuable addition. What an asset that the style is readable as well(!).

Allin HYLE Book Reviews Instruments and Experimentation in the History of Chemistry , ed. by Frederic L. Holmes and Trevor H. Levere, MIT Press, Cambridge MA, 2000, xxi + 415 pp. [ISBN 0-262-08282-9] by Shawn B. Allin Instruments and Experimentation in the History of Chemistry is a compilation of 14 articles presented at a Dibner Institute workshop of the same name held in Cambridge, MA on April 12-13, 1996. The papers are divided into three sections, "The Practice of Alchemy" (3 papers), "From Hales to the Chemical Revolution" (6 papers), and "The Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries" (5 papers). The editors state in their introduction that, "The aim of this volume is simply to move the instruments and experiments into the foreground of our concern." This collection of essays certainly succeeds in showing that a global approach to the study of the history of chemistry is desirable, and necessary, for a thorough understanding of the subject to develop. Contributions to the first section include "The Archaeology of Chemistry" by Robert Anderson, "Alchemy, Assaying, and Experiment" by William Newman, and "Apparatus and Reproducibility in Alchemy" by Lawrence Principe. A highlight of this section is Anderson’s work on chemistry prior to 1750 and difficulties regarding the availability, and accuracy, of historical/archaeological records. The practitioners of early chemistry often treated their knowledge as proprietary and, thus, were less than forthcoming in their written descriptions. Likewise, scenes presented in woodcuts were often idealistic and poor reflections of actual laboratory practice. The poor quality of data is exacerbated by the very small sample size available for study. While the fragile nature of chemical ware certainly contributes to this issue, Anderson contends that advances will only be possible when field archaeologists become familiar with early chemical ware and, thus, able to recognize it when encountered.
