Abstract
Abstract In 1919, the year of the birth of IUPAC, international science was in its infancy. Modern instantaneous communication as we know it had not been born, but a number of scientists foresaw the need for an international organisation with a focus on chemistry to serve as a catalyst, to promote standards, and to facilitate clear, unambiguous communication throughout the world in the rapidly growing discipline. The early founders of the organisation could not have foreseen the explosion of knowledge and instant communication networks available today. However, they did understand the serious ramifications of not having clear, unambiguous communication in science and engineering.
