A Tribute to Ted Williams

The American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry is sponsoring a symposium, titled Remembering Ted, in honor of the late Ted Williams, professor of chemistry at The College of Wooster for more than 40 years, who passed away last year. The session, scheduled during the ACS meeting in San Francisco, September 10-14, was organized by one of his proteges, Paul Edmiston, associate professor of chemistry at Wooster, who said that it will recognize, celebrate, and in many ways continue what Ted began. The session, which will focus on mentoring, education, and giving of oneself - all passions of Wooster's legendary professor - will not only provide the chemistry community with a chance to share stories about one of its friends, but also inspire them to be better in their profession and their lives. The list of speakers includes Williams' former colleague Dick Bromund, former students Eric Roberts, Anne Fischer, Lee Limbird, and F. Ann Walker, and his daughter Alison.
