Building the Literature of a Profession
Fifteen prominent chemical engineers first met in New York more than 60 years
ago to plan a continuing literature for their rapidly growing profession. From
Industry came such pioneer practitioners as Leo H. Baekeland, Arthur D. Little,
Charles L. Reese, John V. N. Dot-r, M. C. Whitaker, and R. S. McBride. From
the universities came such eminent educators as William H. Walker, Alfred H.
White, D. D. Jackson, J. H. James, Warren K. Lewis, and Harry A. Curtis.
H. C. Parmelee, then editor of Chemical und Metullurgical Engineering, served
as chairman and was joined subsequently by S. D. Kirkpatrick as consulting editor.
After several meetings, mittee submitted its report to the McGraw-
Hill pany in September 1925. In the report were detailed specifications
for a correlated series of more than a dozen texts and reference books which
have since e the McGraw-Hill Series in Chemical Engineering and which
became the cornerstone of the chemical engineering curriculum.
From this beginning there has evolved a series of texts surpassing by far the
scope and longevity envisioned by the founding Editorial Board. The McGraw-
Hill Series in Chemical Engineering stands as a unique historical record of the
development of chemical engineering education and practice. In the series one
finds the milestones of the subject’s evol
