Chem Dept. Receives Endowment for Chair

President Pusey has announced the endowment of a Visiting Professorship in Chemistry by Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Sloan of Washington, D. C.

The lectureship will provide each year for a teaching visit by a distinguished chemist outside the University. His presence, in turn, will free two Harvard chemists to do a semester of research.

Louis F. Fieser, Sheldon Emery Professor of Organic Chemistry, stressed the importance of the gift to the quality of Department's teaching and research. He noted that Sloan received his A.M. and Ph.D. at Harvard and "knows what the Department needs."

According to Fleser, the professorship is unique at Harvard, and "we're the envy of everybody's eye."
