Chemistry 100, by George B. Clemans
As Bowling Green State University marks its Centennial Year, academic departments and student organizations alike are looking into their history. Dr. George B. Clemans, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, has capped months of research in the Center for Archival Collections and among his colleagues with the publication of a 100 year history of the the Department of Chemistry. Beginning with Dr. Edwin Moseley’s founding of the Department of Physical Science in 1914, through to today’s cutting edge researchers, the book provides a lively narrative of the growth and development of a department devoted to teaching and to research. Clemans describes the post-World War II enrollment boom, the development of the graduate programs, and the establishment of the Center for Photochemical Sciences, with succinct biographies of the department’s most influential faculty. Attractively illustrated with photographs, the volume makes a lasting contribution to the history of Bowling Green State University.

Unforgettable People featured in Archival Chronicle
March 23, 2010 | Centennial, Website | Leave a Comment
It’s the faculty members who work with students every day who probably have the most significant influence on the direction of their studies and their future careers; but every staff member has an important contribution to make toward the quality of life on campus.
The Archival Chronicle takes a look at a few of these staff members–Rea McCain (the first chair of the Department of English), Frank Ogg (the chair of the Department of Mathematics, administrator, library advocate), Laura Heston (the chair of the Department of Home Economics), James Paul Kennedy (the first dean of the College of Musical Arts), and everyone’s favorite–Steve the Cop (Lyman Stevens, campus police officer). The Gallery offers views of faculty at work and at play. It’s another in our series honoring Bowling Green State University’s Centennial!
