THE EDUCATION OF CHEMISTS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer of review Of Roscoe & SChor
Ierner's Chemistry CNew Ed, Vol y in a recent
number of 1.-The Evening Post speaks in a rather
derogatory way OF the education Of chemists.
Chemists are taking large share IN the progress
OF the world just now and the statement will posi-
bly, be a surprise TO the general reader. Chemistry
as profession IS comparatively little understood
by the public. and it may be well to state a few
facts bearing upon this subject. Chemistry has
given presidents IN recent years to five different
American universities. Harvard and Johns Hopkins
being OF the number. All of these still in Office
and sixth chemist has recently served for a time
as president Of American university It is
absurd 70 saw that such drawn from Z
ill-eduCated profession.
The great majority of professional chemists are
graduates Of colleges or OF high class technical

ever. The student Ct chemistry, like all Semitic
students. takes commonly the course Aeaulns 70
the degree 5 b, his training differing only in
greater attention paid chemistry, and the student
OF botany geology IN the same general course

5 B. stands upon precisely thS same footing as
thar Of 3 j large number OF chemists also

and taking out his handkerchief TO wipe the sweat
and dust away, he wiped every particle of hair off
his head. The dust of the ashes had combined with
his perspiratiOn TO form strong I've which had
