Excerpt from Chemistry in the Service of Man But the end and aim of chemistry is not merely material. Chemistry offers its contribution also to the deeper interests of the human mind. Occupied as he is with the study of material substances and of the marvellous transformations which he is able to bring about in them, the thinking chemist is forced to look below the surface of things and to seek an answer to the fundamental questions relating to the ultimate constitution and structure of matter, and to the forces which govern the changes and transformations which he observes in his laboratory, or which are wrought out in the larger laboratory of Nature. The study, not merely of the products but also of the principles and laws underlying the processes of chemical change, forms the work of the modern chemist. 'in its wider sweep, chemistry ignores the conventional and artificial frontiers which mark it off from the other branches of science, more especially physics; and in the last quarter of a century there has been no more fruitful region of experimental and speculative activity than that common territory where the sciences of chemistry and physics overlap.

Excerpt from Physical Chemistry in the Service of the Sciences Professor van 't Hoff most cordially consented, not only thus to visit the United States as one of the guests of the University, but also, at the special request of the Department of Chemistry, to deliver a course of lectures on that branch of chemistry which Owes so large a Share Of its recent develop ment to his brilliant and profound investigations. The lectures were delivered in English, and, in Slightly condensed form, are reproduced in this volume. The interest which they aroused was most gratifying both to the lecturer and to his hosts. They were attended by large audiences, which included professors of chemistry and related sciences from many distant states of the Union. Those who had the privilege Of hearing them will not soon forget the genial personality of the speaker, the Simple and lucid language, and the suggestive treatment which combined to make them memorable. The excellent portrait, a reproduction of which forms the frontispiece, will give added interest to the book.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Vol. 9: 1916 Numerous writers and Speakers have called frequent attention to the great service which chemistry has rendered to humanity. In every field of industry she has been active, every product of man's labor has felt her magic touch. Modern civilization can be meas ured most accurately by considering the influence which chemistry has had upon industry and industrial operations. It is unnecessary here to tell what she has done. We are more concerned with the future than with the past, and judging the future by the past, the benefits which chemistry during the coming years will confer upon humanity will be infinitely valuable. On us, her votaries, is imposed the task of laying out the course of her progress, preparing and making the way easy for her and heralding her triumphant march. It is the purpose of this paper to indicate how this may best be done. It should be perfectly obvious that the purpose of all industry is to satisfy the desires of human beings. This is as true of chemical industry as it is of any other industry. The chemist renders human service. He is a human being himself and his service to human beings makes him a part of a great democratic commonwealth in which every member is a factor in the development of the whole. The Chemist is only a fraction in this commonwealth but the more he is organically a part of it the greater is his power of service. Like everyone else he does not exist by himself alone but is depend ent for his existence upon every other human being that is a part of the social organism.

Excerpt from Everyman's Chemistry: The Chemist's Point of View and His Recent Work Told for the Layman Chemistry would be the dullest study on earth if it only had to do with the proportionate amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, etc., that a body contains. This is merely the genealogy of things, and bears the same relation to them that the names Of a man's several grandparents do to him. The interest lies in what these things will do, just as the interesting quality of a man lies in the problem of what he will do under more or less known conditions.
