In Tribute The name of Bilger has become a byword in the chemistry department during the past thirty-three years. The person. Dr. Leonora Neuffer Bilger, has been an integral figure in the development of that department. In her affiliation with the University, which began in 1925, the now retired professor emeritus served as professor and later senior professor of chemistry, department chairman, dean of women, and chairman of the University of Hawaii Research Committee. During her thirty-three years of service, she advanced scholastic standards, developed an adezjuate program for chemistry m ajors, and expanded research and graduate activities. As a result of her effort, an excellent faculty was assembled, as well as a succession of eminent visiting professors. In recognition of her service to the University, the chemistry building was named for and dedicated in January to the person who had much to do with its planning. Dr. Bilger was educated at the University of Cincinnati and did futher graduate and research work at Cambridge University. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Iota Sigma Pi, and Theta Phi Alpha, she was the recipient of the Francis P. Garvan award in 1953, which is given annually to an outstanding woman in chemistry. Thus it is with great honor that the yearbook staff of the University of Hawaii pay tribute and dedicate the 1959 Ka Palapala to Dr. Leonora Neuffer Bilger. 308
