10 Chemistry Teachers Doing Research Here
Ten college teachers of chemistry from throughout the country are participating in a National Science Foundation-sponsored research program here this summer.
Dr. Calvin A. VanderWerf, professor of chemistry and department chairman beginning this fall, is director of the program which will be in session until Aug. 19.
The 1961 program recently received a supplemental grant of $4,230 from the NSF, bringing the total foundation support to $24,270. Each teacher receives a $1,500 fellowship.
The participants, most of them holders of the doctorate degree, were selected from 60 applicants representing almost 60 institutions, to attend the program designed to further research in colleges. They are taking part in research programs being conducted by senior members of the KU faculty, in the laboratories and libraries of the chemistry department.
They also are attending lectures and seminars that provide them with an intensive background in the organization of research. After they conclude their KU work, they will return to their colleges and introduce research to their students.
Eight of the 10 participants in last year's program now are engaged in projects at their campuses as a result of their KU summer.
The 1561 program participants are: Donald J. Bettinger, Denison University, Granville, Ohio; David Yuan-Fin Chou, Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hickory, N. C.; William Homer
Coppock, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa; Sister Agnes Marie Horner, St. Mary College, Xavier (Kans.); John Webster Johnson Jr., University of Wichita, Wichita.
