Show NEW RESEARCH WORK Noteworthy Advance in the Chemistry Department Chemical Discoveries Ma Made e by Prof Acree Acree- Analytical Investigations 1 Now o in Progress Under Dire Direct t i tion of Prof Acree and Instructor Wilcox The department of chemistry in the University is strongly imbued with the spirit of progress although it is true it has always taken a very large share in upholding the institution for the thoroughness thorough thorough- ness efficiency and dignity which should characterize the head institution of the States State's educational system At the departure departure departure de de- of Dr H. H N. N McCoy last Jast year it w was s generally feared that his place could hardly be completely filled by another but the good fortune which secured the services of Prof S. S F. F cree Acree it itis is now felt brought a worthy successor DISCOVERIES DISCOVERIES BY PROF ACREE The February number of the American American Chemical Journal which was received last week contains an article by Prof Acree which describes twelve or fifteen new organic compounds discovered by bythe bythe the rn professor in his individual re research earch work While the laboratory experiments which led to these discoveries disco ies were were begun begun begun be be- gun while while- Prof Acree was at the University University Uni Uni- ni- ni of Chicago the work waS wascom com here during the winter and the University of Utah therefore gets an and deserves deserves deserves de de- serves the credit for it The title of this paper is Constitution of The discovery of the these e new compounds is noteworthy in that it throws new light upon the constitution ution an and properties of several series of organic compounds and their reaction upon one another This is the sixth paper which has appeared in chemical journals describing new chemical chemical chem chem- chemical ical discoveries which have been the result of experiments made by Prof Acree alone and by Prof Acre Acree in conjunction with others Pi Prof of Acree assisted by Instructor Wilcox is now engaged in analytical research research re- re search work along along- similar lines above in indicated indicated indicated in- in and very interesting results are aie looked for Mr Wilcox is also engaged in research work the results of which i itis it itis is expected will give him his masters master's de- de gree If he is as strikingly successful as the smell of his chemicals is strikingly nauseating remarkable results will certainly ensue A few weeks ago a paper on on on beter- beter chemistry was re read ld at the University University Uni Uni- of Chicago wl which ich was written by Prof Acree It It contributes a little new newlight newlight light upon the great at s subject of bacteriology bacteriology ogy as a result of th the professors professor's research work along t this is line The paper will ill be pu published soon in one of of the chemical journals of the United States STUDENTS WILL DO OO RESE RESEARCH R Ir WO WORK As a result of Prof Acree's crees enthusiasm in 1 f for r his lifes life's vocation a chemistry c course ur-se ur in original research work will be announced announced an an- d in this y years year's ars ar's ann annual of oJ the U University Uni Uni- ni- ni as a n new w course ourse to begin next year A little of this work has been done this year ear but next year a number pf of the advanced students will be able to continue 4 this original work with the the best of facil facH ALL NEW EQUIPMENT On ran account of ot the recent burning of the physical building the chemistry depal department department de- de pal had to be entirely furnished re-furnished in in all its app apparatus ratus and equipment Every week shipments of new material still continue con- con to arrive and although the temporary temporary temporary tempo tempo- quarters in inthe the museum building are very unsatisfactory at pr present sent the opening opening opening open open- ing of the institution next fall will find findo o the chemistry department a typical model in all that is ib best and newest |
