Chemistry Department celebrates 125th year
Daily Nebraskan – Apr 24, 2008
The department currently calls Hamilton Hall home but has also occupied Avery Hall and another building that stood where the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery stands today. There are no fireworks involved but plenty of history and commemoration as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln chemistry department celebrates its 125th anniversary of its brick mortar and antiquity. The department was founded in 1882 and the anniversary celebration will continue until the 125th anniversary of the first graduate degree awarded said Jim Takacs chair of the department. The anniversary will culminate in an alumni reunion. “We’re starting to alert alums and others on campus that the department is recognizing a milestone – a series of milestones – in the chemistry and research program” he said. The department had only two faculty members when it first opened including the world’s first female chemistry professor Rachel Lloyd said Mark Griep an associate chemistry professor.

Matter was created some of it coalescing into galaxies and planetary systems. The Earth formed then gathered the ingredients necessary for life: carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen sulfur phosphorous and more. Fundamentally the history of everything is a history of chemistry of action and reaction bonds and separations. And for thousands of years the science of chemistry has been about trying to understand how matter works how it forms how it changes and how to make it better. “This book is an attempt to bring chemistry to ordinary people” said Nicolaou a widely renowned chemist with appointments at both The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla and the neighboring University of California San Diego. “So much of chemistry has a huge significance in people's lives directly and indirectly. It's not just what happens in labs and clinics in the development of new drugs and such… The Earth formed then gathered the ingredients necessary for life: carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen sulfur phosphorous and more.

Cleveland has struggled to get any consistency all season and was sputtering heading into the playoffs. The Cavs might have LeBron James but they haven’t exactly been the Celtics or Pistons this season. Arenas’ return clearly has messed up the Wizards’ chemistry to some extent. For better or worse the three-time All-Star point guard demands the ball. His history of taking the big shot (and his outsized personality) has led his teammates to sit back and watch too much. Arenas dazzled early in Game 1 coming off the bench to hit four three-pointers — including a ridiculous attempt from 10 feet beyond the arc. He looked like he was ready to go mano-a-mano with James for the right to be considered the best "fourth-quarter closer" in the NBA.
