One hundred years ago the University of Arkansas announced course offerings leading to a degree in chemical engineering. Bauxite had just been discovered in central Arkansas and had sparked dreams of great mineral wealth yet to be discovered and exploited. This book traces the history of chemical engineering at the University of Arkansas.
