Comments
From
The
Chair
Dr. Bill Smith
On March 19th the Section gathered at the University of Pennsylvania for the annual Edgar Fahs Smith Lecture. The lecture’s
namesake, celebrated chemist, Edgar Fahs Smith (May 23, 1854–
May 3, 1928) had a long and active career during which he
demonstrated a passion for the humanism and history of chemistry
and for passing this on to his students. He wrote:
“The criticism that chemistry is absolutely commercialized is frequently heard and, further, that it is the commercial value of the science alone which claims the
thought of chemists. Such views are widely prevalent. But other ideas exist, and chemistry
teachers especially know that to them the discarded 'old chemistries' bring many other messages: messages in history, philosophy, economics, social relations, art, international relations, literature, and in a wide and extensive culture.” (Old Chemistries, 1926)
This year’s guest lecturer was Dr. Benjamin Widom, Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry at
Cornell University. His research interests include physical chemistry and statistical mechanics.
In 1998, Widom was awarded the Boltzmann Medal “for his illuminating studies of the statistical mechanics of fluids and fluid mixtures and their interfacial properties, especially his clear
and general formulation of scaling hypotheses for the equation of state and surface tensions of
fluids near critical points.” He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in
1974 and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1979.
Our next Section meeting will be on April 16th (see the meeting page in this edition for details).
We will be honoring undergraduate students who have distinguished themselves at colleges and
universities which have ACS approved programs or ACS student chapters. These institutions
are Arcadia University, Bryn Mawr College, Chestnut Hill College, Cheyney University, Delaware Valley College, Drexel University, Eastern University, Haverford College, Immaculata
University, La Salle University, Lincoln University, Philadelphia University, Rosemont College, Rutgers University, St. Joseph’s University, Swarthmore College, Temple University, The
University of Pennsylvania, The University of the Sciences, Ursinus College, Villanova University, West Chester University and Widener University
These outstanding students will report at the award meeting what they will be doing next year.

SPEAKER’S BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Melissa Betz Cichowicz
Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry
West Chester University
Oh the Places You’ll Go…..With a Degree in Chemistry
Melissa Betz was born and raised in northeast Philadelphia, and attended Philadelphia public
schools, graduating from Abraham Lincoln High School in 1974. She enrolled at St. Joseph’s
College as a chemistry major and was awarded her BS in 1978, in the last graduating class before St. Joe’s became a University. Her first year of graduate school was at Virginia Tech in
Blacksburg, VA and she transferred to the University of Maryland to continue her graduate
studies and marry David Cichowicz, whom she met at St. Joe’s. Research in synthetic organic
chemistry was conducted under the direction of Paul Schuda, and her PhD was completed in
1984. A position as Senior Research Scientist was accepted in the Herbicide Exploratory Research department at Rohm and Haas Company (now Dow Chemical) and research was conducted there until 1986, when she took a faculty position at West Chester University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Cichowicz is currently an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry;
she teaches mostly organic chemistry courses, and has conducted research in the areas of synthetic approaches to naturally occurring compounds, synthetic methodology, and most recently,
microwave-accelerated organic reaction development.
When not working as a chemistry professor, Dr. Cichowicz is actively involved in the Devon
Horse Show & Country Fair, and rides and competes in lower-level equestrian events. She and
her husband David have two children, Douglas – who is graduating from college this year and
will be commissioning in the US Army Signal Corps, and Corinne – who is graduating from
high school this year and will attend Ursinus College in the fall. Neither of them plans a career
in the chemical sciences!
CHEMAGINATION COMPETITION
We are excited to announce the Spring 2015 ACS Local Section Chemagination Competition
on the Princeton University Campus. This is a team competition of two or three high school
students per team. Intent to participate has already been received by eight teams in the Princeton
area, as of mid-January.
You can read about Chemagination 2015 at Princeton University at: http://chemists.princeton.edu/pacs/outreach-activities/chemagination/. The poster competition
will be at Princeton University, Saturday afternoon, June 13, 2015.
With the prior approval by your teacher, please communicate your entry intention as soon as
possible on the online Entry Form, available at the link above.

for May 9, 2015! This program is for students grades 3-8. Designed by graduate students in the
Chemistry Department at the University of Pennsylvania, this program is meant to introduce students
to the sciences using a hands-on approach. Students will have the opportunity to learn that science is
fun!
This spring we will have all new experiments, including an experiment to make gold nanoparticles using tea (see www.acesphiladelphia.com for more information)! The students will come to the Chemistry Department at Penn, where they will split into small groups to perform a variety of science experiments, as well as discuss the concepts behind the activity. This event is free for all students, and coed! Register at www.acesphiladelphia.com/may-9th.

comment about contribution to the ACS community is “Served on the Executive Committee of
the Division of Organic Chemistry from 1986–1992 and served as the Executive Officer of the
National Organic Chemistry Symposium from 1989–1991.”
