Analytical Division of t h e ACS in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Student Affiliates a t t h e A C S National Meeting in Los Angeles last April, several undergraduate students were given a chance to present some of their work a n d then to hear some well known chemists talk of their analytical specialties. Many chemistry professors throughout the country are now i n troducing undergraduate students t o research quite early in their educational programs. One such professor is D r . Louis Gordon of Case I n stitute of Technology. D u r i n g t h e past few years, D r . Glordon h a s utilized a portion of CH 24, Analytical Chemistry I I , t o introduce t h e sophomore chemistry majors to research. Analytical Chemistry, I a n d I I , is a two-semester 8-credit course a t Case. T h e latter half of t h e laboratory of a n a l y t i c a l Chemistry I I is devoted to research activities and t h e last three weeks of class a r e used for seminar presentations. Most of t h e research problems originate from sources within the research activities of D r . Gordon's group, although the student is permitted t h e option of presenting his awn research problem and, in a few rare cases where a reasonable idea is presented, t h e student is allowed to pursue it. Problems have i n cluded (1) t h e precipitation of metal 8-hydroxyquinolates from homogeneous solution with 8-acetoxyquinolinc a n d (2) t h e infrared analytical applications t o the metal S-hydroxyquinolates. W h e n t h e sophomore is ready t o begin research, t h e instructor discusses a number of research problems with him. After a selection is made, the instructor outlines further the background of the research and (Continved
