The annual event brings to northwestern Pennsylvania the nation&#8217;s most distinguished chemists and practitioners of related disciplines for residencies of up to one week.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord lecturer&#8217;s principal public address is intended to engage many segments of the greater Erie community, from the basic and higher education sectors to the corporate and industrial spheres. In addition, the lecturer spends considerable time with Allegheny students and faculty members, formally and informally, sharing special expertise and perspective. As a consequence, undergraduates at Allegheny have gained broad exposure to emerging fields of inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>Allegheny&#8217;s relationship with the Thomas Lord Charitable Trust and the Lord corporation has its roots in the College&#8217;s earliest years. Samuel Lord, a Meadville settler in 1793, was a charter trustee of the College, and he gave Allegheny the five-acre site that remains at the core of the campus today; the Lord Gates, at the North Main Street entrance to Brooks Walk, bear his name. In 1924, his great-grandson, Hugh C. Lord, founded the Lord Corporation, today a major manufacturer of adhesives, rubber chemicals, primers, and coating, among other products. Allegheny College awarded Hugh Lord an honorary degree in 1948.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel Lord&#8217;s great-great-grandson, Thomas Lord, began managing the company in 1932. Upon his death in 1989, Thomas Lord bequeathed to Allegheny $250,000 for support of selected research, teaching, and educational programming in chemistry, physics, engineering, and industrial management topics. Thomas Lord&#8217;s successor as Lord Corporation chairman, Donald M. Alstadt, conceived of the Lord Lecture in 1990 as a means of direct corporate support for science education in the area. It was Alstadt&#8217;s development of Chemlok, one of the world&#8217;s leading rubber-to-metal adhesives, that propelled the company into the chemical business in the 1950&#8217;s. Allegheny Awarded him an honorary degree in 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Since the time of Samuel Lord, the sciences have been an important part of Allegheny&#8217;s liberal arts curriculum, and the College&#8217;s record as an educator of future scientists is exemplary. \u00a0Allegheny ranks in the top 4 percent of schools whose baccalaureate graduates go on to earn Ph.D.s in all fields, in the top 2 percent in the physical sciences, and in the top 1 percent in the life sciences (based on National Science Foundation data). On a percentage basis, Allegheny produces twice as many scientists across all natural science disciplines as the top-rated research universities. During the past decade, 37 percent of Allegheny graduates were natural science majors, a proportion more than double the national average of 15 percent.<\/p>\n<h3>Past Lord Lecturers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>1996<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Harry Gray, CalTech, electron-transfer chemistry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1997<\/span>\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Julius Rebek, Jr., The Scripps Research Institute, molecular recognition<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1998<\/span>\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paul Anderson, Senior Vice-president of Chemical and Physical Sciences at DuPont<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1999<\/span>\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">John Yates, Univ. of Pittsburgh, surface chemistry and physics<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>2000<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">George Whitesides, Harvard Univ., biophysics<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2001<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dudley Herschbach, Harvard Univ., molecular analysis and reaction dynamics<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2002<\/span>\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jane Richardson, Duke Univ., protein structure and folding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2003<\/span>\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roald Hoffmann, Cornell Univ., physical organic chemistry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>2004 \u00a0<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">F.

This leads to unique research activities that have real world applications by working in one-on-one collaborations with faculty, starting as early as the first year and culminating in the senior project.<\/p>\n<p>We further encourage our students to appreciate science and Chemistry as a human endeavor. We seek to help stimulate and develop individual qualities that foster an enthusiasm for knowledge, that provide a foundation for critical reasoning, and allow for self-expression. These qualities, which transcend the study of Chemistry and science in general, prepare our Chemistry graduates to lead productive and fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n<h3>Chemistry Courses Learning Outcomes<\/h3>\n<p>All students who successfully complete a course in the Chemistry Department are expected to be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Demonstrate a knowledge of the fundamental concepts of stoichiometry, atomic theory, structure and reactivity of elements and compounds, physical properties of matter, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics relevant to specific contexts and applications;<\/li>\n<li>Effectively communicate this knowledge in both oral and written forms;<\/li>\n<li>Critically analyze chemical data, hypotheses, results, theories, or explanations by this chemical knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cooperative Engineering Program<\/h3>\n<p>Students who participate in a cooperative engineering program (3-2 engineering) with a major in Chemistry are required to take the Foundation courses, the Core courses, and the Junior Seminar, plus additional chemistry courses to bring the total to 33 semester hours in Chemistry.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><hr><div class=\"box box-info box-align-\"><h4><i class=\"fa fa-info\"><\/i><span>Academic Bulletin<\/span><\/h4>Visit the Academic Bulletinfor information on all majors, minors, and other programs at Allegheny college.\n<p><a target=\"_self\" class=\"button icon button-lg block  yellow\" href=\"http:\/\/catalog.allegheny.edu\"><i class=\"fa fa-book  pull-left\"><\/i>Visit the Allegheny College Academic Bulletin<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chemistry Professors Chapp (Chair), Ams, Betush, Deckert, Garcia, Guldan, Murphree, Pandey, Persichini Science is an integral part of a liberal arts education.

In our research, we aim to apply this technology towards small-molecule synthesis of fused and bicyclic heterocycles that have potential as natural products. Through Knoevenagel or similar condensations, multi-gram quantities of Meldrum\u2019s acid can be converted into functional derivatives which are thermally susceptible to rearrangement. Flash vacuum thermolysis of Meldrum\u2019s Acid derivatives provides evidence of highly-reactive cumulenes which favorably afford a family of assorted Heterocyclic ring structures. These rearrangements can be approached thermally and safely in common laboratory conditions. The resulting products can serve as precursors to natural product and materials chemistry applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0 Assistant Professor Department: Chemistry Degrees: B.S., Allegheny College; M.S., University of Rochester; Ph.D., University of Rochester Contact Info Email: mbetush@allegheny.edu Phone: (814) 332-5352 Office Info Office Location:\u00a0Doane Hall of Chemistry C.117 Office Hours:\u00a0 Mondays: 2:00 &#8211; 4:00 PM Tuesdays: 2:00- 4:00 PM Wednesdays: 2:00- 4:00 PM Fridays: 4-4:30pm (By Appt) Research Interests Meldrum\u2019s Acid [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"mt-5\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/faculty\/matthew-betush-2\/\">Continue Reading &#8220;Matthew Betush&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":546,"featured_media":0,"parent":6,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1317","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/546"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1317\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/chemistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}]
