McIntosh served as department head until 1920 when he left the University to accept a position in industry. Archibald assumed the position until 1927 when he resigned because of illness and was succeeded by Robert Clark who continued in this capacity for over twenty years, before retiring in 1948. The late 1940s represented a trying period because resignation, retirement and death reduced the number of professors in the department to three. In 1964, the Department of Chemistry moved to the newly created Faculty of Science following the split of the Faculty of Arts and Science. Title based on the contents of the fonds.
