ABSTRACTDaniel Haworth will trace his history of the love of science, especially chemistry from his high school graduation to the present day. His curiosity of the world around him was stimulated in his undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where he majored in chemistry, mathematics and physics. After earning a Master?s degree in Chemistry from Marquette University he applied his knowledge of chemistry at the Bureau of Shipping in Washington, DC., where he worked on the first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus. His love of chemistry was further enhanced as a student at the Oak Ridge School of Technology. Following two years of service in the Korean War where he tested nerve gases and radiological warfare, he completed his Ph.D. in chemistry from St. Louis University. His talk will center on his work with fuel cells at the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. and as a faculty member at Marquette University. He will present an outline of his research efforts from boron chemistry to metal clusters. His love of the teaching of chemistry will be demonstrated by the variety of courses he has taught and the programs that he has initiated at Marquette or having been an active contributor. His services to the ACS section has included the co-chair of 20th Great Lakes Regional Meeting and Continuing Education and Science Education Committees as well as chair of Facilities/Entertainment Committee for the 25th Great Lakes Regional Meeting. His teaching research service accomplishments will provide the basis of this talk with the hope of showing that Inorganic Chemistry as it is presently constituted is more properly described as the chemistry of the elements.BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH:Daniel T. Haworth was born in Fond du Lac, WI and he obtained his B.S. degree with highest honors from the University of Wisconsin ? Oshkosh in 1950. He received a M.S. degree from Marquette University in 1952, with a major in Chemistry. He worked for Admiral Rickover on the first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus, and was a student at the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology. He served in the Chemical Corp during the Korean War testing nerve gases and radiological warfare reagents. He was also involved in the sterilization of food using spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors during his service commitment. He completed his PhD. in Inorganic Chemistry at St. Louis University and did fuel cell research at the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. where he helped design the first mobile fuel cell unit. As a faculty member at Marquette University he has taught a variety of courses from the freshmen to the graduate level and his research has been in the area of boron nitrogen chemistry to transition metal clusters ? their synthesis and structure lucidation. He received the Pere Marquette Teaching Award from Marquette University in 1971.
