Richards, Theodore W. (1868-1928). An American chemist born in Germantown, PA. He was the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in chemistry. He studied chemistry at Haverford and Harvard, with a doctorate in chemistry from Harvard where he later became Erving Professor of Chemistry. An outstanding experimental chemist, his major interests were atomic weights, thermochemistry, and thermodynamics. He was also a brilliant teacher. He was president of the ACS in 1914, and the recipient of many honorary awards, including the Davy, Faraday, and Gibbs medals.
