The historical, social, and intellectual elements of disciplinary identity for physical chemistry were well laid out in Europe, Great Britain, and the United States by the 1920s, and a new hybrid discipline of physical organic chemistry emerged in turn. However, more so than in some other scientific fields at this time, physical chemists often were to experience varieties of identity crisis. Were they physicists, or were they chemists What was the difference between physics and chemistry This is a question to which we return in the concluding chapters of this book.

Chemists shared the euphoria. When Roscoe succeeded Frankland in 1857, he established a chemistry department that became one of the leading departments in the country, with new buildings (1872) that included his own private laboratory, two teaching laboraories, and more than twenty small research laboratories and staff rooms. By 1887, the number of students in the department had reached 120, and the department had an honors program for the best of them. One of Roscoe s assistants, Schorlemmer, a student of Heinrich Will and Kopp, was the first chair holder in organic chemistry in Great Britain, at Manchester, in 1874. Roscoe and Schorlemmer s A Treatise on Chemistry (1877) became a classic textbook.69...
