Description

The University of Maine Department of Chemistry offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in chemistry, including a Ph.D. program, the establishment of which is documented in these records. The Department is housed in Aubert Hall which was constructed in 1914 and named in honor of the first University of Maine chemistry professor, Professor Albert Aubert, who came to the University of Maine in 1874, and departed in 1909.

The majority of the records were created during the tenures of John William Beamesderfer (1952-1964) and James Langdon Wolfhagen (1964-1976) as chairs of the Department of Chemistry. There is also material from the tenures of Charles Andrew Brautlecht (1919-1935), Wilber Elmore Bradt (1936-1941), Irwin Bruce Douglass (1941-1952), and Raymond C. Fort (1985-1991).

This record group has material on proposals to the National Science Foundation for grants to fund the purchase of research instruments and the renovation of Aubert Hall.
