Excerpt from History of the Chemical Laboratory of the University of Michigan, 1856-1916

The author has had in mind two principal objects in compiling the present work. The first is an attempt to give a condensed account of the development of chemistry, both pure and applied, at the University of Michigan, from the time this subject was first taught at the University down to the present. The second object is to preserve a permanent list of all those men who have constituted the instructing staff in the Chemical Laboratory, together with the years of their service therein, and a list of the scientific papers and other articles which they have published during the years of their official connection with the Laboratory.

The author wishes here to acknowledge fully his obligation to Dr. W. J. Hale for the great pains he has taken in collecting the titles of the papers and supervising the publication, to Dr. M. Gomberg for valuable advice concerning the classification and arrangement of the papers, to Dr. A. B. Stevens for much of the material used in preparing the illustrations, and to other members of the faculties for the assistance they have rendered in making the bibliography as complete as possible.
