Another researcher in Ramsay s group at UCL was Katherine Alice Burke.10 Bom in Surrey about 1875, Burke obtained her B.Sc. (London) degree from studies at Bedford College and later Birkbeck College, a small college emphasising technical and vocational subjects. Upon completion of a B.Sc. in 1899, she transferred to UCL to work in Ramsay s laboratory under Frederick Donnan.11 Burke had two publications with Donnan and one with Edward Charles Cyril Baly.12 In addition, she...

The chemistry concerning the preparation of oestradiol was already basically known. Hans Herlolf Inhoffen (1906-1992) (Fig. 6.14), from Schering AG in Berlin, published in the late 1930s the following route, which had been at least inspired by his earlier work assignment at Edward Charles Dodds laboratory at the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry in London ... 

The Hon. Edward Charles Howard (Darnell, Sheffield, 28 May 1774-London, 28 September 1816), third brother of the twelfth Duke of Norfolk, is best known for his invention of the vacuum pan for evaporating sugar syrup, which he patented in 1812. He found nickel in meteoric iron. ...

In 1885, Charles Martin Hall invented his aluminum process and Hamilton Young Castner in 1890 developed the mercury-type alkali-chlorine cell, which produced caustic (sodium hydroxide) in its purest form. Edward G. Acheson in 1891, while attempting to make diamonds in an electric furnace, produced silicon carbide, the first synthetic abrasive, second to diamond in hardness. Four years later, Jacobs melted aluminum oxide to make a superior emeiy cloth. Within two decades, these two abrasives had displaced most natural cutting materials, including naturally occurring mixtures of aluminum and iron oxides.

After his graduation, young Dr. Rutherford studied in Paris, Italy, and London for three years before returning to Edinburgh to practice medicine. During his stay in Paris, he declined an invitation to a party at which Prince Charles Edward was expected, saying that, out of respect for the honor of a fallen house, he wished to avoid the spectacle of seeing the prince intoxicated (1). 

On February 21, 1809, Hatchett became a member of the famous Literary Club which had been founded in 1764 by Dr. Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds (51). As treasurer of the club, Hatchett prepared a brief historical account of it, which appears in Boswell s Life of Johnson (25). The club also included, among others, Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, Edward Gibbon, Adam Smith, Sir Joseph Banks, Sir Charles Blagden, Sir Humphry Davy, Dr. W. H. Wollaston, Sir Walter Scott, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and Dr. Thomas Young.

Edward P. Hamilton was born in East Orange, New Jersey, son of the late Edward P. and Alice Wiley Hamilton. He attended the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, in 1907, with a degree in civil engineering. The next seven years were spent in sanitary, hydraulic, and construction projects in the Catskills, Berkshires, and in Cuba.
