The Mason College Chemical Society was formed in 1884,92 and among two of the early members were the first woman Associate of the Institute of Chemistry, Emily Lloyd (see Chap. 2), and the first woman Student Member, Rose Stern (see Chap. 2). However, according to the reports in the Mason College Magazine, two Birmingham women preceded them Jessie Charles93 and Constance Naden,94 who were both very active in the Society. [Pg.196]

Naden left Mason College in 1887, but unfortunately died in 1889, as her obituarist described "... after coming into the possession of a considerable fortune, she travelled throughout the Middle-East and South Asia.

Aston, Francis William (1877-1945) British chemist and physicist, who until 1910 worked at Mason College (later Birmingham University) and then with J. J. Thomson at Cambridge University. In 1919 Aston designed the mass spectrograph [see mass spectrometry), for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1922. With it he discovered the isotopes of neon, and was thus able to explain nonintegral atomic weights. [Pg.60]

The memorial plaque is not the only tribute to the early history of biocatalysis at Birmingham. The Frankland Building commemorates Percy Frankland, who was professor of chemistry at Mason College, and whose views of biocatalysis have already been noted (Frankland, 1897). The Howarth Building commemorates the leader of the group at Birmingham responsible for their synthesis of L-ascorbic acid (Scheme 1.9). [Pg.30]
