Dayton Section Observes 15th Anniversary
Ρ ARALLELING the prograin at its formal inauguration Feb. 2, 1931, when both the president and the secretary of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY took part, the Dayton Section celebrated its fifteenth anniversary with a dinner Feb. 9 at which President Bradley Dewey was the principal speaker and Secretary Alden H. Emery was an honored guest. The president on the earlier occasion was William McPher-son while the secretary was Charles L. Parsons, recently retired.
Charles A. Thomas, first chairman, described early problems in the development of the section which grew out of an earlier "Dayton Chemists Association". Ten more of the section's past chairmen were present and wore introduced by Chairman J. W. Wright who presided at both the afternoon session and the dinner. With 180 in attendance including a number of the section's charter members, the dinner was held at the Biltmore Hotel and was the climax to a program which started with an afternoon session on the oontributions of Miami Valley chemists to the war effort. Eight papers were presented.
The afternoon program, for which 200 registered, was held at the Dayton Engineers Club. Wartime education was the subject of two speakers. Brother John J. Lucier, of the University of Dayton, pointed out the fallacy of drafting students of demonstrated scientific ability and observed that the acceleration given chemical training during the war often resulted in intellectual indigestion. Austin M. Patterson, of Antioch College, reported on the work of the U. S. Office of Education in sponsoring the ESMWT program under which the number of trainees in chemistry and chemical engineering courses was 95,163.
A paper on the development of composite rocket propellants at the Central Research Laboratories of the Monsanto Chemical Co., Dayton, was read by C. Rogers McCullough, one of the eight coauthors, while a paper on "Some Wartime Developments in Drying Oils", by E . L. Luaces, of Chemical Developments Corp., was read by N. T. Beynon.
A review of synthetic rubber problems in wartime was given by Joseph L. Rockoff, of the Dayton Rubber Manufacturing Co., and J. M. Purdy, of Lowe Brothers Co., discussed chemical progress in the paint industry.
Professional aspects of wartime activities were considered by two speakers: John D . Coleman, of Frigidaire, reported on the professional development of chemists in Dayton and Ohio, and Carl L. Rollinson, of Monsanto, concluded the session with a paper entitled, "The Scientist as a Citizen in the Atomic Age".
