Michigan State University Professor McCarty first developed the academic genealogy 1 of the Chemistry Department in the 1960's, patterning the effort after that of Virginia Bartow 2 . The facility has been invaluable for the study of the history of chemistry and to show the interrelationships in the academic chemistry community. For the last 30 years, the ever-evolving Genealogy has resided in the 6' x 12' glass display case in the entrance of the Chemistry Building. In recent years, the facility has been maintained by Jim Oliver, Chemistry Department Librarian, and Bill Draper, Chemistry Department Graphic Artist. The lines trace each faculty member to the professor under whose guidance the Ph.D. was earned.
Boxes are around the names of the Nobel Laureates.
The genealogy is presented in Adobe pdf format. You may zoom and pan to see the various portions of the genealogy Chemical Genealogy 1. Bartow, Virginia, J. Chem.
