...event of much importance in the history of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences within the past year was the opening of the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory for the study of Physical Chemistry, an admirably equipped building devoted entirely to the research of instructors and advanced students in Physical Chemistry under the guidance of Professor Theodore W. Richards. Such investigations as are carried on in this Laboratory are representative of the highest work of the School, and the setting apart of a building for the exclusive purpose of advanced research marks a significant step, not only in the progress...
...these various industries hundreds of trained chemists are employed. Usually upon entering industrial work, the chemist begins as an analyst. Given a concern of sufficient size, and an enterprising and efficient chemist, this position may develop into a more responsible and better paid one of research chemist or as manager or superintendent. Past experience has shown that the best training for a technical chemist begins with a broad and thorough training in the principles of inorganic, theoretical, and analytical chemistry. It is of great advantage to understand as well the principles of industrial chemistry and of mechanical engineering, but special...
...them are the result of protracted and careful laboratory experimentation. The importance of this sort of investigation can hardly be overestimated. That it is fully realized in some quarters is evident from the fact that in Europe, especially in Germany, millions of dollars are annually expended in industrial chemical research. In America, too, although to a lesser extent, this side of technical chemistry is receiving increasing attention as the large research laboratories of the General Electric Company and the Du Pont Powder Company and many similar smaller laboratories show. This research has led to such results as the discovery...
...enumerating the various fields of usefulness open to a chemist, one should not fail to mention the possibilities of scientific research. While in many cases the results of this work are of purely scientific or abstract interest, they are indispensable for the development of the science as a whole, and the facts and generalizations discovered in this way may have a very important bearing upon practical affairs. In this connection the recent development of biological chemistry should be mentioned, a subject which in time will surely have a strong influence on the practice of medicine. Innumerable scientific and technical problems...
Professor Alfred M. Tozzer '00, assistant professor of Anthropology in the University, announced in a message Saturday that he and his party, who have been engaged in archaeological research in Central American countries for several months, had just left Vera Cruz for Galveston. They with other Americans were in the Diligencia Hotel, Vera Cruz, when the American marines seized the custom house, and during the fighting that followed, much of it in and about the hotel, the entire party of Americans escaped harm...
