Abstract
THE first applications of scientific knowledge to the problems of leather manufacture may be said to have been made about 1890, and the initiation in the following year at the Yorkshire College (now University of Leeds) of a course of lectures devoted to the subject was an indication that a new field of technology had gained recognition. Five years later, through the foresight and generosity of local tanners and the Worshipful Company of Skinners, a special department was built to house the new subject, and H. R. Procter was appointed to fill the newly created chair in 1898.
