  1. Baker, W. J. Chem Soc. 1933, 1381–1389. Wilson Baker (1900–2002) was born in Runcorn, England. He studied chemistry at Manchester under Arthur Lapworth and at Oxford under Robinson. In 1943, Baker was the first one who confirmed that penicillin contained sulfur, of which Robinson commented: “This is a feather in your cap, Baker.” Baker began his independent academic career at University of Bristol. He retired in 1965 as the Head of the School of Chemistry. Baker was a well-known chemist centenarian, spending 47 years in retirement!
