Symposium to Celebrate
Chemistry 621
plus
The 2004 Amy-Mellon Lecture
October 14, 2004
WTHR 201
It is most unusual to celebrate a course of instruction but Chemistry 621 is exceptionally well worth celebrating. Not only has this “forced march” served higher pedagogical purposes, it has also proven to be a boot camp for training in chemical instrumentation. It has allowed many faculty members at Purdue to build research programs with well-prepared graduate students. It has allowed those same students to breeze along in industrial careers, to start instrumentation companies, and to win awards for instrumentation and analytical chemistry. The course is a monument to Fred Lytle, scholar and communicator, par excellence. To celebrate this course, this program brings back alums of the course including ten who will speak on their scientific careers and the role CHM 621 has played.
