Records of the Department of Chemistry
The Johns Hopkins University Introduction
The records of the Department of Chemistry range in date from 1901 to 1983 and are, for the most
part, the products of four members of the faculty: Donald Hatch Andrews (faculty member, 1927-1963;
chairman, 1936-1944), Alsoph H. Corwin (faculty member, 1932-1973; chairman, 1944-1947), Frederick
Y. Wiselogle (faculty member 1937-1946), and Everett Thiele (faculty member, 1965-1973). The bulk
of the records covers the period from the mid-1930s to the 1960s. One of the earliest items extant is a
volume containing abstracts of papers read before the Seminary of Inorganic Chemistry during the year
1901-1902. The record group is arranged as follows:

and in industry. Of particular interest are records pertaining to wartime projects from the late 1930s and
the 1940s, which give an insight into chemical research projects during the Second World War. Accession Numbers: 79.39, 79.40, 79.114, 81.44, 84.11, 86.41, 90.7, 91.17, 91.18, 91.39
Provenance: Virtually all of the records of the Department of Chemistry were transferred directly to the
Archives by the Department. Class Notes on Ira Remsen's Chemistry course, taken by Frederick
B. Noyes, were donated to the University by Allan G. Brodie, a colleague of Dr. Noyes. The
Department of Special Collections of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library transferred "Abstracts from
the papers read before the Seminary of Inorganic Chemistry conducted by Prof. H. N. Morse
during the collegiate year 1901-1902, ed. by J. C. W. Frazer JHU." Earlier correspondence in
Series 1, Subseries 2 was transferred by Lawrence Principe, who found the materials in a
laboratory in Remsen Hall.

History
The study of chemistry at The Johns Hopkins University goes back to the founding of the
university. In 1876 the Trustees named Ira Remsen Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Chemical
Laboratory. Remsen had earned an M.D. from New York City's College of Physicians and Surgeons in
1867, before traveling to Munich, where he received his first systematic training in chemistry. He
transferred to Gottingen in 1868, and received the Ph.D. in 1870. Remsen returned to the United States
in 1872 and taught chemistry at Williams College. Seeing the lack of good chemistry textbooks in this
country, he soon turned to remedying that deficiency; his first text, Theoretical Chemistry, reduced the
fundamentals of the science to a form simple enough for beginning students to understand. The book was
widely praised and was ultimately translated into several languages.
Once at Hopkins, Remsen transformed the laboratory into a center for the training of chemists, and,
in 1879, he founded the American Chemical Journal, which was published by the Johns Hopkins Press.
He continued to write textbooks which became standards in the field; Organic Chemistry was translated
into seven languages and three textbooks on inorganic chemistry were also well received. In the area of
research, Remsen is perhaps best known for the 1880 discovery of saccharin by Constantin Fahlberg, a
graduate student experimenting under Remsen's direction. Remsen had no interest in the commercial
possibilities of the discovery, but Fahlberg developed and patented a process for manufacturing the
substance.
When Gilman retired from the presidency in 1901, the Trustees chose Professor Remsen to succeed
him as the second president of the young university. In addition to serving Hopkins, Remsen was also
called upon to serve the general public, being named in 1909 to head a Referee Board set up by President
Theodore Roosevelt to consider questions relating to the quality of food products and their adulteration.
In 1913, due to ill-health, Remsen resigned both the presidency and the professorship of chemistry which
he had held since 1876.
Remsen was extremely influential in shaping the teaching of chemistry at Hopkins. Since both
Remsen and his colleague, Harmon Northrup Morse, who taught at Hopkins from 1876 until 1916, had
received their scientific training in Germany, they wholeheartedly supported Gilman's plan to pattern the
new institution after the German model, emphasizing advanced study and original research, rather than the
mere transmission of knowledge then prevalent at American institutions of higher learning.
In 1916 the university moved to its present location on the Homewood campus, but the Chemical
Laboratory remained in its downtown Howard Street building until the completion of a new laboratory
building in 1924. This building was named Remsen Hall in honor of Hopkins's first Professor of
Chemistry. In the President's Report for 1925, the Chairman of the Department said, "By this move the
Chemistry Department is reunited with the rest of the University after many years of isolation in the old
laboratory downtown." After Remsen died in 1927, his ashes were interred behind a plaque in the building
which bears his name.
In 1918, the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry was introduced. Offered in cooperation
with the School of Engineering, it was designed to meet the requirements of those who desired more
intensive training in Chemistry, with the fourth year of the program devoted entirely to Chemistry. From
the founding of the university until the present time, an undergraduate who majors in Chemistry or any
other science is granted the Bachelor of Arts degree. Generally, the Bachelor of Science degree is reserved
for graduates of the university's part-time programs and of the School of Engineering.
In 1925 an attempt was made to change radically the structure of undergraduate education at
Hopkins. This was the "New Plan," devised by President Frank J. Goodnow. The idea behind the New
Plan (or Goodnow Plan, as it came to be known) was to abolish the first two years of undergraduate study.
In the President's Report for 1926, the goal of this Plan is described as the "building up of an institution
which is exclusively devoted to graduate work." The university would thus cease to offer undergraduate
degrees. Several students enrolled in the Department of Chemistry under the New Plan, although the Plan
was never fully implemented, due primarily to negative reaction from outside the university.
In 1928, the Honorable Francis P. Garvan provided funds to endow a Chair of Chemical Education,
for the purpose of studying basic methods of improving Chemical Education. Also in 1928, the Dohme
Lectureship was introduced, with funds provided by Alfred R. L. Dohme, an 1889 Hopkins Ph.D. in
Chemistry. These annual lectures were instituted to bring students into closer touch with well-known
contemporary chemists. In 1934, undergraduates who were interested in Chemistry located a sponsor and
formed the first chemistry club at Hopkins, known as the Remsen Club.
By 1938, the Department was placing an increasing emphasis on research and formal instruction
in certain areas of chemistry which would be of critical importance to the future development of the
science; the following year the Department opened a nuclear research lab. In 1940, the graduate
curriculum was changed to allow for earlier specialization and to shorten the preliminary training preceding
doctoral research problems.
In the same year that Ira Remsen died, another chemist began a long career at Hopkins. Donald
Hatch Andrews received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1923 before joining the Hopkins faculty in 1927. He
became chairman of the Department in 1936, a position he held until 1944. During Andrews's tenure as
chairman he oversaw an almost total commitment of departmental resources to government-sponsored
research during the Second World War. In 1944, the Chemistry Department announced that its activities
were almost exclusively confined to war research and undergraduate instruction, with the graduate students
in attendance serving as full-time instructors in the Army Specialized Training Program.
One of the many classified research projects which took place on campus involved the
development of certain materials and procedures used in the construction of the atomic bomb; this research
was carried out under the supervision of Dr. Robert D. Fowler. Fowler, with a 1931 Ph.D. from the
University of California, joined the Hopkins faculty in 1935. He began researching nuclear fission in 1939
and spent much of his Hopkins career working in this area (in addition to serving as chairman of the
department from 1948 until his departure in 1952). Andrews himself was responsible for the development
of the bolometer, a device for measuring heat with infra-red rays, and was also an expert in the properties
of matter at extremely low temperatures. Another important project of the Chemistry Department during
the war years was Dr. Frederick Wiselogle's synthesis of an anti-malarial drug, which proved to be more
effective than quinine.
By 1945, all research being done for the military was secret, although the Department had begun
to plan for research in the post-war period. Information on wartime projects was released in 1946,
heralding the re-conversion of laboratories from wartime research facilities into university labs emphasizing
fundamental instruction and advanced research. By 1947, work on new laboratories was underway, the
first being the Analytic Chemistry lab, followed by the Organic Chemistry lab (1948), and the Physical
Chemistry lab (1949).
In 1952 the administrative structure of the Department was reorganized on a committee basis with
each faculty member undertaking certain administrative duties. The faculty met each week as a whole
committee to report on and discuss problems. The Department continued its emphasis on pure research
as opposed to research on problems of immediate practical application while working also to improve the
quality of graduate research and the research facilities themselves.
Dr. Andrews, after relinquishing the chairmanship of the department in 1944, remained on the
Hopkins faculty until his retirement in 1963. In 1958 he instituted a program to revitalize the teaching of
freshman chemistry, assisted by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Andrews's successor as
chairman of the department was Alsoph Corwin. After receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1932, Corwin
immediately joined the Hopkins faculty, becoming Professor and Chairman in 1944. He served as
Chairman until 1947 and as Professor until his retirement in 1973. Corwin's primary interests in the field
concerned chlorophyll and hemoglobin, toxins and allergens, and the development of balances and
precision weighing instruments for minute quantities of substances.
In 1959, the Department again appointed a chairman, Dr. Walter Koski. Koski, a Hopkins Ph.D.
who studied under Fowler, chaired the Department until 1969. Dr. Robert G. Parr headed the Department
from 1969 to 1973, and was succeeded for one year by Dr. Richard J. Kokes. In 1974, Dr. Brown L. Murr
was named chairman and served for two years. Dr. Dean W. Robinson then became chairman from 1976
until 1983. Succeeding Robinson in 1983 was Dr. Douglas Poland, who currently chairs the Department.

Series Description
Series 1 consists of the papers of Donald Hatch Andrews and dates from 1929 to 1959; it is
divided into five subseries. Subseries 1, Subject Files, consists of Andrews' correspondence, arranged
alphabetically, covering the period 1929-1946 and 1959. Subseries 2, Chronological Correspondence,
covers the years 1923 to 1959. Subseries 3, Speeches, contains Donald Andrews's "Knowledge and Faith"
speeches on science and religion, dating from 1945 to 1949. Subseries 4, Films and Notes, consists of
films that served as visual aids to Andrews' "Unheard Melodies" talks, which were broadcast on local
television. Subseries 1 and 2 include correspondence between Andrews and his colleagues in the
Chemistry Department and at other universities, Hopkins personnel, and representatives of various
companies. There are also files on special projects which Andrews supervised (such as Project X, a
wartime research project), and some on personal activities, such as the Chemical Ballet (in which dancers
portray different chemicals and their reactions). The films in subseries 4 show the movement of a
drumhead after it has been struck and the motion of a plucked string. The first three films are in very poor
condition, as the film is quite brittle and has been spliced with masking tape. The fourth film is devoted
to Andrews's "Singing Statue" demonstration at the Baltimore Museum of Art and shows Andrews setting
up the apparatus to measure and record the frequencies of the atoms in the statue, bringing these sounds
into the audible range. In very good condition given its age (c. 1950), it is the shortest of the four films
(about four minutes); the others are approximately eight minutes each. All four films are silent. There
are also eight additional films which have not been analyzed. Subseries 5, entitled Files - 1922-1935,
1936-1937, 1937-1938, contain the same types of materials as are found in Subseries 1 and 2. They have
been maintained as three separate alphabetical spans to preserve their original systems of organization. Series 2 consists of the records of Alsoph Corwin, who came to the University in 1932 as an
Associate and chaired the Department of Chemistry from 1944 to 1947. Included are records pertaining
to departmental activities, such as the curriculum and business administration, and also records of a
personal nature, such as correspondence with colleagues and friends outside of the University. Certain
files pertain to Corwin's research projects on chlorophyll and toxins and contain notes and correspondence
with colleagues in the same field. The records date from 1926 to 1973 and are arranged alphabetically. Series 3, Administrative Records, reflects the everyday administrative affairs of the Department,
and include correspondence with companies supporting the Department financially as well as various
suppliers of research materials, and records pertaining to students of the Department (grades and
recommendations/evaluations). Most files are those of professors in the Department (Wiselogle, Thiele
and Kopper), not including Andrews or Corwin, whose files are in a separate series. Important topics in
this series include the Remsen Memorial Lectures (Chemistry Lectures) and the Glidden Lectures. The
series is arranged alphabetically and dates from 1916 to 1976. Series 4, Grants and Contracts, contains proposals and budgets for research projects by the
Department to be funded by outside agencies and foundations, including the National Science Foundation,
the National Institute of Health and the Department of the Navy. Major proposals include four National
Science Foundation Summer Programs for Undergraduate and Graduate Study in Chemistry. There are
also records on Undergraduate Instrument Research Programs from 1965 to 1967, and National Science
Foundation Cooperatives (joint projects with other universities) from 1961 to 1966. Another important
component of the series consists of the large quantity of files relating to a contract from the Office of
Naval Research, number N5-ori-166, relating to superconductivity research. The series is arranged
alphabetically and dates from 1939 to 1971. One half-size document case at the end of this series contains
records which originally carried a government security classification. These records were removed during
processing until they could be officially declassified; they were declassified and returned to the Archives
after processing had been completed and were placed in a separate container. Series 5, Research Reports, is comprised of annual research reports produced by the Department
of Chemistry to publicize its research achievements during that academic year. The reports date from 1958
to 1983, although not all years are represented, and are arranged chronologically. Series 6, Scientific Apparatus, 1936-1959, is divided into three subseries. Subseries 1 consists of
records concerning Bolometers, an instrument designed to measure heat with infra-red rays. The bolometer
was developed by Andrews under the auspices of the CY Laboratory in conjunction with work related to
wartime Navy contracts. The subseries contains articles, drawings, photographs, assembly instructions,
correspondence, data, reports, experiments, and studies relating to the respective equipment. There are also
files containing correspondence relating to problems Andrews had attempting to patent the bolometer. The
files are arranged in chronological order, and date from 1940 to 1951. Subseries 2, Cryostats, contains
essentially the same types of records as in subseries 1. The materials are arranged chronologically and
date from 1943 to 1958. Subseries 3, Other Scientific Apparatus, also consists of descriptions,
calculations, illustrations, charts, photographs, and studies relating to scientific apparatus used by the CY
Laboratory. The files date from 1936 to 1959 but are concentrated in the mid-1940s. Each file is titled
according to the instrument it concerns and arranged alphabetically. Most of the instruments described
in this series were used during the CY Laboratory's work with the Navy during the war. Series 7, Fellowship Records, dates from 1927 to 1971. Each file, titled by the name of the
foundation or corporation offering the fellowship, contains applications of graduate students for that
particular fellowship, and, in some cases, applications for admission to The Johns Hopkins University.
The files are in alphabetical order by the name of each fellowship. Series 8, Class Materials, consists of professors' notes on the courses they taught (especially
Introduction to Organic Chemistry), several placement exams (primarily for entering students) and various
lectures on liquid states. Also of particular interest are numerous files on thermodynamics, including notes,
lab reports, and exams. This series, arranged alphabetically, dates from 1901 to 1981, although one item
dating prior to 1937 is a bound volume entitled "Notes on Chemistry," containing abstracts of papers read
before the Seminary of Inorganic Chemistry in 1901-1902. Series 9, Conferences and Symposia, is comprised of lecture notes from conferences attended by
members of the Department. The conferences were both international and national, involving chemistry
colleagues interested in a given subject. Often, the conferences were sponsored by an educational
institution. All the topics covered at the conferences, with one exception, are related specifically to the
work of the CY Laboratory and its wartime contracts with the United States Navy. The one exception is
the conference on the "Education of a Chemist," which was one of Andrews's main interests; it was
sponsored by The Johns Hopkins University. The series dates from 1937 to 1957, and is arranged
alphabetically. Series 10 consists of the records of the Chemical Club, and dates from 1905 to 1950. It includes
the membership list of 1919, the Chemical Club Constitution, club bulletins, and minutes of meetings. It
is arranged alphabetically. Series 11, University Records, contains records pertaining to matters that went beyond the bounds
of the Department of Chemistry into other areas of the University. Included are correspondence with the
President of the University and administrators of The Johns Hopkins University Evening College, and
records relating to various University-wide committees, in which several chemistry professors participated.
The files date from 1931 to 1972 and are arranged alphabetically. Also included at the end of this series
is a bound volume of mounted photographs showing Remsen Hall and the facilities of the Department of
Chemistry. Although undated, the volume appears to be from the late 1940s. Series 12, Extra-University Records, consists largely of correspondence with companies in the
chemical industry not actually doing business with the Department; rather, they were contacting the
Department on such topics as graduating students available for positions, chemical innovations and
promotional information. Also included here are various records pertaining to the Department's association
with the American Chemical Society. The dates range from 1925 to 1976, and the files are arranged
alphabetically. Series 13, Graduate Student Records 1887-1960, is divided into two subseries. The first, Graduate
Student Files, is arranged alphabetically by student. An individual file may contain some combination of
the following possible elements: applications for university admission, correspondence, applications for
degree candidacy, recommendations, a transcript, and a photograph. Subseries 2, Graduate Student Cards,
consists of two sets of index cards, one arranged alphabetically by student the other alphabetically
according to geographical location, which record information concerning former students. This frequently
includes schools attended with dates of graduation, empolyers, and attempts to update addresses. Series 14 contains records of Dr. Richard J. Kokes dating from 1955 through 1972. The files are
divivded into two subseries. The first, Correspondence, is in chronological order and the files contain
Kokes' correspondence with a variety individuals and institutions on both personal and professional issues.
The second subseries, Subject Files, includes files on both univeristy and department matters, students,
conferences, proposals and grants, and travel. Additionally, there is some material regarding the chemistry
textbooks and manuals which Dr. Kokes and Dr. Andrews co-authored. Files are arranged alphabetically. Records of the Department of Chemistry
