We gratefully acknowledge the faculty and staff who participated in assisting us with compiling this history. Special
thanks to Lois H. Gresh, Technical Communications Director for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math at the University
of Rochester, for her diligent research, writing expertise, and vision for the booklet. We also thank the University
of Rochester librarians, Nancy M. Martin and Melissa Mead of the Rare Books and Special Collections Department at
Rush Rhees Library for their invaluable assistance, and use of their archives and collections. This project could not have
been completed without the efforts of Chemistry Librarian, Susan Cardinal at Carlson Library, who is responsible for
the Index of Chemistry doctoral theses. We thank Department Chair, Robert K. Boeckman, Jr. and Administrative Chair,
Kenneth Simolo for their support of this project. We are also grateful to Dana Rittenhouse of the University Deans’ Office,
the 75th Anniversary Event Committee Chair, James M. Farrar, and committee members Robert K. Boeckman, Jr.,
