California Institute of Technology. Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
California Institute of Technology Chemistry Division selected correspondence files, 1935-1958.
Primarily correspondence, these papers provide some documentation of the administrative and scientific career of Linus Pauling, Chairman of the Division from 1937 to 1958. This includes a 1944 memorandum by Pauling, "The Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. Its Present State and Future Prospects". Also includes earlier items on the reorganization of the Chemistry Division Council under Arthur A. Noyes, Chairman of the Division until 1936. One folder, on a meeting celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first American papers in x-ray crystallography, includes Pauling's correspondence with C. Lalor Burdick, Albert W. Hull, and Dorothy Hodgkin.
The California Institute of Technology was founded in 1891 as Throop University and attracted influential scientists such as George Ellery Hale, Arthur Amos Noyes, and Robert Andrews Millikan. Its first doctoral degree, awarded in 1920, was in chemistry.
