自从化学首次被认为是我们大学值得学习的学科以来，已经过去了近一个半世纪。麦克莱恩在他的《新泽西学院历史》中指出，该学院早在 1795 年就将化学列入了规定的学习科目之中。当时其他著名的大学也很快效仿，在上世纪初，化学是哥伦比亚大学、哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学文科课程的必修课。然而，这个新生婴儿并没有受到任何热烈的欢迎，进入长期以来构成学士学位必需品的学习大家庭。它的成长受到很多方面的阻碍，有时人们担心它是否能够经受住所面临的严峻的怀疑和猜疑。多年后，实验室工作才被作为课程的重要组成部分，即使在那时，在一些学校中也是如此。
NEARLY a century and a half has passed since chemistry was first recognized as a subject worthy of study in our colleges. Maclean in his" History of the College of New Jersey" states that this college as early as 1795 iineluded chemistry among the subjects for the study of which provisionswere made. Other reputable universities of that day soon followed, and early in the last century chemistry was a'required study in the course in liberal arts at Columbia, Harvard and Princeton. This new-born infant, however, was not received with any great cordiality into the family of studies that had long constituted the essentials for the baccalaureate degree. Its growth was impeded in many ways, and there were times when there was some fear as to whether it would survive the rigors of doubt and suspicion to which it was exposed. Years were to pass before laboratory work was offered as an essential part of the course, and even then in some of
