Historical Note

Chemistry classes at the University first met in 1887 and the Chemistry Department’s first professor was E.E. Slosson. In 1904, due to the passage of the pure food law, the professor of chemistry also took on the State Chemist’s role. The graduate program was approved during the late 1940s and the first doctorate degrees were awarded in 1950. The department included four divisions: Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical.
