Dr. Herbert O. Brown
Wayne University
Detroit 1, Michigan
Department of Chemistry
Dear Dr. Brown:
In answer to your letter of April 25th, I am glad to tell you that our undergraduates in Chemistry and Applied Chemistry take a course in Inorganic Chemistry amounting to two lectures per week throughout an academic year. This course is normally taught by Professor Yost. Part of the content of the course is contained in the book just being published by Yost and Russell. Many of the students also take a special laboratory course in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, given by Professor Yost. This usually is in the form of a senior research problem.
I agree with you that it is desirable that chemistry students be given a good foundation in inorganic chemistry. In my lectures to the freshmen I place considerable emphasis on descriptive chemistry, and in addition on structural chemistry, of the sort in which I am particularly interested.
Sincerely Yours,
Linus Pauling
