HENRY PAUL TALBOT gfg jrz -lQEXRY PALIL TALBOT was born in Boston on hlay 15, 1 B ly 1861. His boyhood, however, was spent in Holliston, y 2 hIass., where he attended the public schools and graduated W from the High School in 1881. The following autumn he Ldfgf entered the Institute with the intention of taking Course Y-c, as it was then called, the option leading to Industrial Chemistry. This plan he eventually carried out, and graduated with the well- known class of 1885, whose active interest in Technology affairs has placed its members foremost a.mong the alumni. Upon graduation NIL Talbot was offered an attractive commer- cial position, but since he had always been much interested in teach- ing,-even in school-days,-he chose to accept an assistantship in Analytical Chemistry. In this capacity he remained at the Insti- tute for two years, at the end of which time he was made an instructor. In 1888 he resigned his instructorship to go to Germany. He studied for two years at the University of Leipsic under Professor Johannes VVislicenus, and on August 4, 1890, took his doctor's degree Summa cum Laudef' In the fall of 1890 he returned to the Institute to resume his duties as instructor in Analytical Chemistry. He was married to Bliss Frances Emma Dukehart, of Baltimore, INIaryland, on the seventeenth of June, 1891. Dr. Talbot rose rapidly from his instructorship, and during the succeeding ten years was constantly advanced. After the resignation of Professor Thomas M. Drown, then in charge of the Department of Chemistry, to become President of Lehigh University, Professor Talbot was made responsible for the business and most of the other affairs of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Although virtually in charge, he was not officially appointed head of the department until 1901. This position Professor Talbot still holds. During his administration the courses have undergone many desirable changes. The most important of these is the conversion of the course in Chemical Engineering from a course designed prima- rily for the training of an engineer with some knowledge of chemistry, to one which provides for the training of a chemist with some knowl- edge of the fundamentals of engineering.
