...work, if the student works earnestly and hard during the entire period, he can finish the prescribed work in the time allotted; most students come back another day. Although the majority of the experiments are dry and boring routine, several of them give to the aspiring chemist, as he gazes on his network of glass apparatus, a feeling that he is really accomplishing something important after...

Edward Wight Washburn, chief chemist of the U. S. Bureau of Standards until his recent death, showed how electrolysis could be used to get a fairly high conce tration of heavy water. Dean of Chemistry Gilbert Newton Lewis of the University of California later devised a series of electrolyses to produce almost pure heavy water. At Princeton, Dr. Hugh S. Taylor made three ounces of heavy water whose density could not be increased by repeated refinements, concluded he had pure deuterium oxide. Meanwhile heavy water's first fabulous cost of $150 per gram (about $37,500 for a glassful...
Prizeman. The Langmuir Prize of $1,000, established by a brother of Nobel Laureate Irving Langmuir, is actually awarded to a promising chemist under 30. The Society announced last week that this year's plum will go to Dr. Charles Frederick Koelsch, 27, University of Minnesota researcher, teacher and bachelor, for the "quality and quantity" of his unspectacular work with organic compounds...
President Conant's greatest research as a chemist was on the subject of chlorophyll. On his walks through the Yard he will appreciate more than ever the verdant, luxuriant growth of a plant filled with chlorophyll, a plant called grass. From one end of the Yard to the other his eyes can feast upon the expanse of grass. From Holworthy to Wigglesworth, from Thayer unto Strauss he can take pride in both those plots of grass that still survive. He can erect a bronze tablet in honor of those brave young blades that pushed through the morass in front...
