In 1943 the Chemistry Department at McGill University set a strong course for the study of carbohydrates and wood polysaccharides when Clifford B. Purves became E.B, Eddy Professor of Industrial and Cellulose Chemistry at McGill, and Director of Wood chemistry research in the Pulp Paper Research Institute of Canada. About ten years later he was joined by Dr. T.E. Timell from Sweden and hemicellulose analysis prevailed for the next decade. Timell focused his attention on wood hemicellulose and generously collaborated with the writer since he was a consultant for American Viscose Corp. where I was employed. My immediate superior was Dr. Wayne Sisson and his experience in x-ray diffraction on cellulose organic polymers encouraged me to learn that technique and apply it to wood hemicelluloses (7,2).
