REPORT FOR ANALYTICAL CHEMISTS

after graduation will be necessary for all to keep abreast of new devel­opments in chemistry; no scientific worker can ever quit studying.

Educational institutions cannot be expected to train students in spe­cific areas of chemistry or in spe­cific techniques to directly fulfill industry's needs. Industry must assume responsibility for specific training and practice in its specific areas of work. For work in in­dustrial analytical chemistry, how­ever, the graduate should have, in addition to a good chemical educa­tion, a basic understanding of the principles and the potential of all the modern analytical techniques on which he can draw as needed. Coverage of these many techniques should be aided by combining dif­ferent topics, often taught sepa­rately, in the manner outlined by Reilley (3) viz., the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with mat­ter: principles of rotational, vibra­tional, and electronic transitions; their corresponding absorption and emission spectra; and the relation­ship between spectra and chemical structure. Similar coverage can be given also to the electrochemical area, and it should be possible to group the methods for chemical sep­arations—a most important part of chemical analysis-—for a reasonable understanding of them. Within these two sentences alone might be named nearly all the principal tech­niques of analytical chemistry, or at least most of the important mod­ern ones, which too often are thought of and taught as separate entities. Some practice with "live problems" too, as mentioned by Rogers (4) is desirable. Given the basic principles, the theory, and the advanced concepts of the latest thinking on structure of matter in his early college work, a student in­terested in analytical chemistry should be able to relate and to think in terms of the techniques of ana­lytical chemistry.

Industry needs and will continue to need competent interested people educated in analytical chemistry—· B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.—who can be trained to accept the respon­sibilities at all levels in this vital area of its work. I t is recognized that many analyses are and should be carried out directly by synthesis

chemists and others and that they, too, need to be educated in the principles of analytical chemistry. Generally, however, they cannot cf-ficently pursue their main objec­tives and at the same time be truly proficient in analytical chemistry. Their employment of a single ana­lytical approach or selection of an analytical method or instrument just because it is known or conve­niently available, "one instrument research," needs to be guarded against. Competitive industry must have accurate and as complete information about the composition of its products and materials as it can practically obtain.

The opportunities for growth and advancement of an analytical chemist in industry are limited only by his ability and the amount of ini­tiative, effort, and judgment he ex­ercises. Rewarding careers are to be had in industrial analytical chemistry ; training in this field pro­vides a valuable basis for work in other fields as well.
