MSU Gallery of Chemists' Photo-Portraits and Mini-Biographies
I hope these portraits and mini-biographies will stimulate our students to become interested in and take pride in the history of our subject, and to realize that it is a human, not an abstract, endeavor. I hope too that it will convey to department visitors the many contributions chemists make to science, to technology, and to the general welfare, and that at the beginning of the 21st century the subject is alive, well, and more exciting than ever.
Finally, this is written as I approach my 80th birthday. I would like the collection to continue to grow, but am running out of the considerable energy it takes. There are many more outstanding chemists whose work warrants inclusion, and plenty of vacant wall space in the building. So I hope that some younger person will step forward to take over.
