Analytical Chemistry— What Now?

acid solution safely, easily
Following the Twenty-First An nual Symposium on Analytical Chemistry at Louisiana State Uni versity in Baton Rouge, January 22-25, 1968, (program on page 56A) a special one-day seminar will be held on Friday, January 26. The title of the symposium is "Analyti cal Chemistry—What Now?" and the discussion by eminent authori ties from industry and academic in stitutions will embrace such ques tions as: (1) What analytical chemistry courses should be taught in univer sities, both graduate and undergrad uate? (2) How should the courses be taught? (3) Who should teach the courses? (4) What does industry need from its analytical chemists? Participants in the discussion will include Frederick Brech, Jarrel-Ash Company; Philip Kane, Texas In struments Company; Charles N. Reilley, University of North Caro lina; Sidney Siggia, University of Massachusetts; Barry Karger, Northeastern University ; Edward C. Dunlop, E. I. du Pont de Ne mours and Co., A. F. Findeis, Na tional Science Foundation, and Ralph H. Millier, Louisiana State University. Discussion leader will be James Robinson of Louisiana State University. An attempt will be made to formulate a realistic definition of modern analytical chemistry, and it is hoped that the implications can lead to a more use ful approach to the teaching of the subject. There will be no charge for attendance at this one-day ses sion. I t is anticipated that many of those attending the preceding fourday session will be interested in at tending and contributing to the dis cussion. Drs. Reilley, Siggia, and Dunlop also participated in a similar pro gram at the recent Eastern Ana lytical Symposium in New York. The large attendance at that session is a good indication of the intense interest that analytical chemists have in current education problems.
