Continued from page 62 Hilbert was an authority in carbohydrate chemistry and the chemistry of cereal grains. He was a member of ACS, the American Association of Cereal Chemists, American Soybean Association, and the Cosmos Club. Joined ACS in 1928; emeritus member.
Louis J. Kotnick, 57, professor of chemistry, Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland, Nov. 29, 1982. Joined ACS in 1968.
Joseph J. Martin, 65, professor of chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, and associate director of the Institute of Science & Technology, Dec. 13, 1982, Ann Arbor, Mich. Martin was widely recognized for his research in thermodynamics and radiation chemical processing, as well as for his leadership roles in numerous national engineering organizations. Martin began his professional career at Eastman Kodak in 1939. He then taught at the University of Rochester and at Carnegie-Mellon before
joining the University of Michigan in 1947. He served two terms on the advisory board of the Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 1975-77 and 1978-80. Joined ACS in 1943.
Arnet L. Powell, 67, director for science, Office of Naval Research, Boston, Nov. 23, 1982, Wayland, Mass. Powell served in the Office of Naval Research from 1947 until his retirement in 1979.

Separation of organics SIR: I read your report on membrane development (C&EN, Nov. 5, 1982, page 7) with great interest. However, your table on page 9 did not include the separation of organics. Please be advised my patent No. 3,923,650 has claims to separate antibiotics, to concentrate antibiotics, etc. Other patents pending for concentrating and separating biologicals are similarly interesting, such as in the production of amino acids, insulins, etc.

Change in emphasis is needed SIR: The report of the unfortunate incident, in which a molten salt bath exploded in a laboratory at Berkeley, has led to a number of comments, including a letter from D. F. Shriver of Northwestern University, about the need for more inorganic chemistry in our curricula (C&EN, Nov. 22,1982, page 2). I am afraid that Prof. Shrivels plea is not quite on target.
Some years ago there was much hue and cry
concerning the need for a return of more descriptive inorganic chemistry into freshman programs. I believe the spark plug was an editorial "Silver Chloride is a Pale Green Gas" published in /. Chem. Ed. under the byline of Prof. Davenport. Although much discussion followed, I have not really seen a drastic change in the presentation of most freshmen courses. Teaching descriptive inorganic chemistry is still considered dull and unexciting, whereas quantum theory, molecular orbitals, thermodynamics, etc., are much more palatable. Forgotten is the fact that many of today's teaching generation were originally turned on by this allegedly dull descriptive stuff! Overlooked is the fact that repeated exposures to "Baby P. Chem" are not inspiring today's freshmen to continue with further chemical studies in any large numbers. Nor is the philosophy "let the high schools do it" bearing fruit, since high schools traditionally want to do what the colleges are doing, in order to demonstrate the up-to-date nature of their programs.
I suggest that the explosion at Berkeley is just another consequence of the tragic ignorance of today's students about descriptive chemistry. In this sense, merely putting more of the same theoretically based materials into required curricula will not alleviate the problem. More of the same is not the answer—instead it will require a long overdue change in emphasis from the theoretical to the descriptive, in our freshmen programs, to help prevent such events in the future.
