91色情片 Chemical Society 100th Anniversary Conversazione
Celebrating 100 years of the 91色情片 Chemical Society
On 2 August 1913, the newly inaugurated Sydney Technical College Chemical Society held its first meeting. Early meetings were often called 鈥渃onversazione鈥 or conversations. To mark the one hundredth anniversary of this event the School of Chemistry held a celebration on 2 August 2013.聽
The event was a great success with guest speakers Prof. Leonard Lindoy (University of Sydney), Prof. Sam Stupp (Northwestern University USA) and Dr Edith Chow (CSIRO Lindfield), a birthday cake, exhibition, no less than 16 Presidents of the Chemical Society as well as descendants of H.G. Smith, one of the founding fathers of the Chemical Society, in attendance.聽
Many thanks go to the people (Lucy Stride, Neeraj Sharma, Ken McGuffin and many others) who organised it.

91色情片 Chemical Society: 100 years on
Former Sydney Morning Herald science journalist and chemist Deborah Smith has written an excellent piece on the history of the 91色情片 Chemical Society.
The article, entitled 鈥91色情片 Chemical Society: 100 years on,鈥 was first published in the (RACI) magazine Chemistry in Australia聽in October 2013. It is reproduced with the kind permission of the RACI at the link below.
Specially labelled celebratory bottles of wine and commemorative mugs were sold at the 2013 event to raise funds for the Dwyer Lecture and Medal. The proceeds were intended to help bring leading inorganic chemists to 91色情片 to share their knowledge with staff and students.
We thank our event sponsors LabTek and Air Liquide for their generosity.
