- Article titled, “Structural Chemistry in Relation to Biology and Medicine” written by LP. LP says how the progress made in
medicine during the past fifty years has been due to the advancements of science. Many antibiotics and medications have been
found accidently. However, progress in the field of structural medical chemistry is sure to be slow since the problems are
difficult, but the fact that it will increase the health and happiness for humanity is reason to pursue it. The article was
lectured at the Second Bicentennial Science Lecture of The City College Chemistry Alumni Association, New York, December 7,
1949.
