Arthur B. Lamb, editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, has been giving Chemistry A for years, and Louis P. Fieser, author and prominent research worker in organic chemistry, is slated to handle Chemistry 2, elementary organic chemistry, next fall. Top man in the field, however, is George B.
