American Chemical SocietyIn 1876, the first national chemical society in the U.S., the American Chemical Society, was organized in New York City. Earlier, eight New York City chemists assembled on 22 Jan 1876 at the home of Prof. Charles F. Chandler. They arranged circulars to invite other chemists to meet on 6 Apr 1876. It was at their meeting on 20 Apr 1876 that the society was formally established.. The constitution and by-laws were considered and adopted, and the officers were elected for the year. On 4 May 1876, the first paper was read. Meetings at this time were held at the University Building. Minutes of meetings and papers were published in the American Chemist with Charles Chandler as editor. The national American Chemical Society was chartered on 9 Nov 1877.« |
