Historical Distillates examines the history of the Chemistry
Department at the University of Toronto from its beginnings in
1843, when it was housed in simple quarters in the Parliament
Buildings on Front Street and had just one faculty member. During
the founding era (1843-1920) three British gentlemen professors
guided the department through four homes; between 1920 and 1960
three Canadian heads built a highly influential department. Since
1960 eight chairmen have effectively managed a growing and diverse
department while it ventured into exciting new fields and emerging
sub-disciplines.
New colleges and a Nobel Prize have been highlights of the past
two decades. With the completion of recent renovations and
additions (such as the Davenport Research Building and Garden),
with its distinguished faculty, top-rate staff, and excellent
students, and with its dazzling array of equipment to support
research, the department's future indeed looks bright.
