Carothers was regarded as Illinois best organic chemistry student, equally good at physical chemistry, mathematics, physics, and laboratory techniques. Moreover, as Adams put it, Carothers was a lovable man. Despite his obvious talents, he was without artifice or pretense. Nevertheless, when Carothers savings ran out after a year, he had to leave Illinois to earn money teaching at the University of South Dakota, where the ever-faithful Pardee had arranged a position.

Historical Vignette 8.2] Earnest O. Lawrence (1901-1958) was bom in 1901 in Canton, SD. He was educated at the Universities of South Dakota and Minnesota, and at Yale (Ph.D. Physics 1925), and was appointed to the faculty of The University of California, Berkeley in 1928. Two years later he became a Full Professor. In 1926 he was appointed Director of the University s Radiation Lab (now the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), a position he held until his death.

Experimental studies soon confirmed all these expectations. The most powerful tool in achieving these results was the cyclotron. Ernest O. Lawrence, its inventor, was born in Canton, South Dakota, on August 8, 1901. He was educated at St. Olaf College and the University of South Dakota, and did graduate work in physics at Minnesota, Chicago, and Yale. The latter university gave him his doctorate in 1925. He remained at Yale until 1928, and was then called to the University of California at Berkeley, where he still remains as Director of the Radiation Laboratory. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939. It was due to Lawrence and the cyclotron that California became the outstanding center for the synthesis of new elements, which it still remains (I). 

A product was developed at the University of South Dakota that contains 44% moisture, 40% milk fat, 14 to 16% nonfat dry milk, synthetic butter flavor, high-acid starter distillate, salt, butter coloring, and a combination of gelatin and sodium carboxymethylcellulose as a stabilizer.

Wallace Hume Carothers (1896-1937) was born in Burlington, Iowa, and received his Pb.D. at the University of Illinois in 1924 with Roger Adams. He began his career with brief teaching positions at the University of South Dakota, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University, but moved to the Du Pont Company in 1928 to head their new chemistry research program in polymers. A prolonged struggle with depression led him to suicide after only 9 years at Du Pont.
