Lewis Norton died young, less than two years later, and the curriculum reverted to mechanical engineering plus industrial chemistry, one of the combinations that began to be called chemical engineering elsewhere. At the Royal Technical College in Glasgow, Scotland, the applied chemistry curriculum in 1888 took the name chemical engineering for a time [17]. For another example, at Minnesota the first curriculum in chemistry, established...

Alfred E. Hirschler (Sun Oil Co., Marcus Hook, Pa. 19061) I would like to point out two significant omissions in Rabo s review dealing with Bronsted sites in zeolites. The first substantive evidence for the presence of Bronsted sites in cationic zeolites was our 1963 paper (/. Catalysis 1963, 2, 428), which showed that arylmethanol indicators generate car-bonium ions on contact with CaX and other cationic zeolites. The cited work of Norton did not establish the presence of Bronsted acidity for two reasons. He used Ho indicators which give acid colors with Lewis as...
