...Said Chemist James Kendall of Edinburgh University, onetime professor at Columbia and New York Universities, in Manhattan on his way to a convention of the American Chemical Society next week: "Fantastic as this development may sound, I believe that with the next ten or 15 years, drinking of heavy water (TIME, March 25, 1935) by those who have passed 60, as a means of prolonging the 'reward years of life,' will be commonplace...
Oberlin's most generous alumnus, however, was none of these but the late President Charles Martin Hall of Aluminum Co. of America. In 1886, when he was a poor 22-year-old Oberlin graduate, Chemist Hall completed the experiments he had started in an Oberlin laboratory more than a year before, discovered the electrolytic extraction process which made possible the commercial refinement of aluminum. As a result, Oberlin received $9,000,000, one third of Chemist Hall's estate, besides a statue of him as a young man, in glowing solid aluminum...

Phosgene, for example, was first made by British Chemist John Davy in 1812. Making gas into a war weapon was not a matter of finding new compounds but of manufacturing known compounds on a great scale. With their splendidly developed chemical industry, the Germans had the edge throughout and Allied gas warfare was largely a series of belated retaliations. In their March 1918 offensive against the British the Germans fired half a million "Yellow Cross...
