Hauser, Ernst

Hauser, Ernst A., Aurum potabile, ibid., 29, 456-8 (Sept, i952). 

This, then, was the man who developed the program in chemical engineering so boldly outlined by Little and Walker. He surrounded himself from the beginning with men of promise in their respective fields. These included William McAdams, Clark Robinson, Robert Haslam, Walter Whitman, Harold Weber, and William Ryan, who unfortunately died in 1933. Robinson died in the late 1940 s, Haslam in the early 1960 s and Whitman, Lewis, and McAdams in the early 1970 s. During the period from the mid-1920 s to World War II, Ernst Hauser, Hoyt Hottel, Thomas Sherwood, Edwin CilUland, Herman Meissner, Glenn Williams, and Edward Vivian would be added. These men formed the framework on which the present staff was built. 

It was in this period that a serious attempt was made to duplicate in the amorphous industries area— plastics, rubber, etc.—educational progress similar to that made in the heavy chemicals industries. Ernst Hauser was added to the faculty to aid in the development of educational methods in industrial colloid chemistry, and books by Hauser and by Lewis, Squires, and Broughton were published. 

In 1924, Ernst Alfred Hauser used an opal red dye to make these colloidal particles more visible when viewed under a microscope. 

Ernst and Vera M. Fischer, whom he married in 1902, were parents of Ernst, Wolf and George. The senior Ernst Hauser died at Cambridge, MA on Febmary 10, 1956 He was buried in New Hampshire at Cathedral of the Pines.
