...very similar to the old grind at Harvard. Some texts: Sherwood and Taylor, Fieser and Fieser, Darrely, "Physical Chemistry" etc. Similar professors too, i.e., inspiring ones and dull one, but all Chinese of course. Same worry over exams and also exams of same difficulty (most of the Chem. exams are in English, one--Industrial Chem.--is in Chinese but the instructor translated a copy into English for me). The lab equipment of course still is worse than Harvard equipment. But generally we do all the experiments Harvard does, except often on a smaller or less accurate scale. Nevertheless I have...
...only does the department have excellent chemists, but it also has excellent lecturers. Louis F. Fieser, Emery Professor of Chemistry, gives Chem 20, a course loaded with material, brilliantly organized and delivered at a rate which makes for easy, note-taking. Elementary Chemistry lectures are enlivened by the bouncing putty demonstrations of Eugene G. Rochow...
Poll blanks will ask pertinent questions about the various courses. But in addition to reporting the number of hour exams in Chem 2, the individual will be able to make specific criticism...
Louis F. Fieser, Sheldon Emory Professor of Chemistry, led the Chem 20 Cooks of the Organic League to a hard fought 10 to 8 victory over a strong Analyst team from Chem 40 on Soldiers Field Saturday. Though Fieser went hitless and fielded unsteadily, he was a constant source of inspiration and encouragement to his teammates...
Besides the notoriously cut-throat competition for grades, Chemistry's greatest drawback is its huge lab schedule. An average of three afternoons a week for three years must be spent doing largely uninteresting labwork. Dividends, however, are paid on this effort. The Chem concentrator upon graduation can not only go on to further study, but can also command a good starting salary as a research specialist...
