| Abstract: | CHARLES Fredrick Chandler earned
his reputation as one of the first
outstanding industrial chemists of
the United States. Born in 1836, he
worked under Wohler at Gottingen and
Heinrich Rose at Berlin, getting his
doctorate degree in 1856. Returning to
the US he established the school of
mines in Columbia, where he was a
professor for 36 years and dean for 33
years. He earned large fees as a
chemical expert, but gave away a large
sum of it to the poor and needy students.
Dr. Chandler’s lectures were always filled
with humor, witty stories and amusing
anecdotes. |
