Chemistry
Chemistry was one of the early departments outside of
the Scripps Institution authorized in the development of the University at San
Diego. It was officially established in the spring of 1961, under the chairmanship
of Professor James Arnold, and operated in George Scripps Hall and Sverdrup
Hall on the Scripps campus. Joseph E. Mayer succeeded Professor Arnold as chairman
in 1963.
In March, 1964, the department began its move
to the upper campus. Before the official inception of the department, several
of its present faculty had accepted appointments at La Jolla.
At the time of the initial organization only
the Ph.D. degree was offered; the first was awarded in 1963. In 1965, authority
to grant the M.S. degree was requested and granted. In the fall of 1961, 11
students entered. The enrollment in autumn 1962 was 14; in 1963 it was 26; and
in 1964, it was 38. Three students completed their doctoral requirements in
1965, and one student received the master's degree.
Partially due to the small size of the department,
the emphasis on lectures as a means of instruction was small. As of 1965, relatively
few graduate courses were given, and a close student-faculty relationship was
attained.
The undergraduate curriculum of Revelle College
included physical science in the first and second year, but the instruction
in chemistry took place only in the sophomore year, so that no undergraduate
courses had been given by 1965. However, considerable effort went into the planning
of the future undergraduate curriculum. source
