ELTON FULMER, Dean of the College With one of the best equipped laboratories in the Northwest, with a staff of trained and skilled instructors in their particular line of work, the Department of Chemistry at the State College of Washington stands high among similar courses of learning in other colleges and universities of this country. The success of this department must be largely attributed to its head, Elton Fulmer, Dean of the College and Chemist for the State of Washington, a man who is today one of the recognized leaders in America among men of his profession. When Dean Fulmer came to Pullman in 1894 this department was merely an infant. But under his direct supervision, during nineteen years of ceaseless, earnest toil and effort, it has been built up to its present high standard of efficiency, and we owe much to him who has accomplished this work for us. It is the purpose of this department to fit men and women to become quick and accurate observers; to fit them to fill governmental positions an to become instructors of chemistry in other institutions of learning. It is the purpose of this department to give to all students a knowledge of the elementary principles of chemistry, thus enabling them to understand more clearly simple chemical reactions which are constantly taking place in everyday life; and it is for the fulfillment of these purposes that the departmental instructors are striving. lWj I Twenty I
