The Development of Physiological Chemistry in the United States

Abstract

THIS is a review of the evolution of physiological chemistry in the United States during the past fifty years. Prof. Chittenden has seen it all happen, from the starting of the first laboratory of physiological chemistry in Yale in 1874 until the present day, when practically every university in the country has a staff of competent investigators and well-equipped laboratories, besides the agricultural experiment stations and laboratories of the Government bureaux at Washington, which are the admiration of the scientific world.
