Chemists Made Humble Begin
ning Here In 1795 With Tui
tion Fee Of $15
The University, sponsor of the
American Chemical society meet
ing to be held next week, has
been a pioneer in the develop
ment of chemistry, a science
which has played an important
role in the curriculum of the
University since it first oponed
its doors to students in 1795.
In those humble beginnings
the University offered a course
in chemistry, geometry, astron
omy and natural and moral phil
osophy. Tuition in the chemis
try department was $15 a year
while in the classical course it
was $12.50.

At 8:45 yesterday morning
Leighton Dudley, early rising
son of Republican Maine, walked
into Graham Memorial and cast
the first ballot of the most en
thusiastic campus elections in
recent years.
His action was followed by a
maelstrom of voters and poli
ticians which swirled among the
pillars of the student union dur
ing the rain-washed afternoon.
The entrance to the building was
swamped by campaign literature
of both parties.
Enthusiastic party 'workers
seized the caravan of voters, un
dampened by. the April showers,
and talked campaign propaganda
at a rate hitherto unknown on
this campus.
Broadcast
There were few more enthus
iastic or persistent than the anti-staff
elections group which
barricaded themselves in the of
fices of Pete Ivey, Graham Me
morial director. There, with the
aid of a loud speaker-microphone
they sent out an endless stream

Important Role
Personnel
To chemists acquainted with
the University, only from a dis
tance, the names of BaskerviHe,
Herty, Venable, Bell, Wheeler,
Cameron and Mack are perhaps
most familiar. Dr. Charles
BaskerviHe was head of the de
partment at the turn of the cen
tury.
At different intervals 1880-
1900 and 1916-1921, Dr. Francis
Preston Venable served as head
of the department. He was
president of the University from
1900-1913 and president of the
American Chemical society, in
1905.
During his early years as
