Br. f ogepl) . Cfjamberlain WHEN it became evident to tiie administration that the department of chemistry needed further development, a search was made to find a man who had received a broad training in the science and who, at the same time, was able to use his chemical knowledge in ways most helpful to agriculture. After considerable inquiry, Joseph S. Chamberlain, who was at the time studying in Berlin, Germany, was chosen and he began his work at M. A. C. in the autumn of 1909. Who is this man Chamberlain, where did he grow uj) and receive both his early and advanced training? What has he accomplished and why is the class of 192.5 dedicating this volume to him? These are some of the questions that naturally will be asked and to which answers are sought. It can be said with truth that his was a goodly heritage. His grandfather, a farmer in Sharon, Connecticut, went to Ohio when William I. Chamberlain, the father of Professor Chamberlain, was four years of age. The father of Joseph was a graduate of Western Reserve College and while spending riiost of his life in practical farming, occupied several public positions of importance. Thus, from 1881 to 1887 he was Secretary of Agriculture for Ohio and from 1887 until 1890, president of the Iowa Agricultural College. Later he became editor of the Ohio Farmer as well as the National Stockman and at the time of his death was still serving in the staff of the former publication. Into such an environment Joseph S. Chamberlain was born in 1870 at Hudson, Ohio. He had the usual experiences of most farmers ' boys growing up on a middle western farm. He attended the public schools in Hudson and was graduated from the high school at Columbus where the family resided while the father was Secretary of Agriculture. Professor Chamberlain entered the Iowa Agricultural College and was graduated in 1890 with the degree of B.Sc, taking the regular course cjuite similar to the one given at M. A. C. at that time. He occupied a position of graduate assistant at his alma mater for two years after the completion of his undergraduate course and received the degree of M.Sc. in 1892. He then decided to go back onto the farm and become a real dirt farmer and he followed this decision with two years of farm practice. The longing, however, for a continuation of educational work got the better of him and in 1894 we see him back at his alma mater as assistant in chemistry, a position which he held until 1897. The long vacations at Iowa were then in winter and he took advantage of them by studying chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. He finally severed his connections with Iowa and continued to pursue his studies intensively at Hopkins, receiving a scholarship in 1897-98 and a fellowship in the following year, working particularly witii Professors Ira Remsen and H. N. Morse.
