IS OUR FIELD . . . The School of Chemistry has participated in the spirit of expan- sion that prevails at the Capstone. The Department of Ceramics, one of the best in the South, was expanded and provided with modern equipment and a Department of Biochemistry was added. Only 200 of the 1800 students who receive instruction in chemistry are registered in the School of Chemistry. The others are engi- neering, biology, geology and pre-medical students who find it necessary to take the basic chemistry courses. Most chemistry graduates go into industrial fields in this country, but many of them accept positions with American and foreign firms outside the United States. Young chemists are advised to enter industrial chemistry as independent operators. Graduate students working in the School of Chemistry are encouraged to initiate their own research problems. Dean Stewart J. Lloyd came to the University in 1909 as adjunct professor of chemistry and was named professor of chemistry in 1911. In 1929, when the Department of Chemistry became the School of Chemistry, Metallurgy and Ceramics, he was named dean.
