At Harvard, Theodore William Richards, like Noyes, inherited a course in theoretical chemistry. He renamed it physical chemistry. However, he cautioned students that the molecular kinetic hypotheses might prove ephemeral, and, to the young Lewis s consternation, Richards showed contempt for the notion of chemical bonds. "Twaddle about bonds A very crude method of representing certain known facts about chemical reactions. A mode of representation] not an explanation. "68 It was not so much that Richards sided with energeticists against kinetic and mechanical representations, but he did have a distrust of mathematical formulations too far removed from the laboratory. When J. Robert Oppenheimer enrolled in Richards s course in physical chemistry in 1925, he pronounced it "a great disappointment,. .. a very meager hick course.. . . Richards was afraid of even rudimentary mathematics."69 Thus, physical chemistry by no means necessarily meant mathematical chemistry. 

MIT President Richard C. MacLaurin could not resolve the dispute between Noyes and Walker with a compromise finally, forced to choose between the two, the Institute backed Walker s concept of stressing the engineering approach based on a systematic analysis of real industrial problems. Noyes resigned in 1919, later founding the modern California Institute of Technology with George Hale and Robert Millikan, both eminent scientists. As the only trustee of both institutions, I can still discern today the influence of these divergent views. 

The great teachers of chemistry must be mentioned—men like Gilbert Newton Lewis at the University of California, Arthur Amos Noyes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology, Theodore William Richards at Harvard University, who throughout their lives enthusiastically taught the science to their students, and also worked in their laboratories to contribute to its progress.
