Abstract

LEEDS.—The urgency in the demand for the training of colour chemists and dyers has led to a reorganisation of this department of the university. The newly appointed head of the department is Mr. A. G. Perkin, F.R.S., who is assisted in the theoretical and practical teaching of colour chemistry by Dr. J. B. Oesch, formerly colour chemist in one of the chief Continental factories, whilst that of dyeing is under the special supervision of Mr. G. H. Frank, Mr. P. King, former chemist to Messrs. Courtaulds, Ltd., and Mr. A. E. Woodhead. In addition to systematic instruction in the above branches of technology, opportunities will be afforded to students of hearing special courses of lectures on “Cellulose” by Mr. C. F. Cross, on “The Distillation of Coal Tar” by Mr. H. P. Hird, and on “Colour in its Relation to Constitution” by Prof. E. R. Watson, of Dacca University.
