'Applied Chemistry9 in Radio Talk
Vastness of the field of chemistry
was stressed in Prof. C. J. Frankfort
's talk to the chemistry department

Thursday evening as a part of the
regular university radio program

Erroneous Idea
Many people have the idea that
the industrial chemist can work out
any practical chemical problem in a
few minutes. This, however, is an
error He must be thoroughly ac
auainted with established chemical
laws and understand them so that he
can apply them in his specific prob-
1CIFormerly it was possibly for the
chemist to be acquainted with almost
every branch of the the science. To
day, one does well to be fairly profi
cient in one branch of the science.
Chemistry is connected with almost
scores of sciences and professions.
Metallurgy is one of the most
practical branches of applied chemis
try. Metallurgy is metal chemistry.
All types of metal are dealt with and
the extent of this branch alone is
almost incalcuable.
The chemist is responsible for the
manufacture of Portland cement, and
for other cements and plasters. He
has also aided in the paper industry,
ndding to the quality of all kinds of
paper, from the heavy commercial
packing paper to the finest brands
of stationery. The wood plup ques
tion is a very serious one at the pres
ent day, and the chemist is working
on a scheme whereby we may use
straw and cornstalks for the produc
tion of naper.
Invade Many Fields
Chemistry has invaded the field of
leather making. Artificial leather of
certain types is superior to the gen

The soap industry is now chemic
ally controlled. Instead of being a
hit and miss proposition, as in the
days of old when every housewife
made her own soap, the manufacture
of soap has become a highly develop
ed activity, with packing houses,
using their otherwise useless fats.
Glycerine is a by-product of the soap
industry. '
The paint manufacturer must em
ploy the knowledge of the chemist.
All the properties of the materials
used must be taken into considera
tion. Chemists have been responsible
for the development of the various
lacquers and automobiles finishes in
recent years. Along with the manu
facture of paint for automobiles is
the manufacture of glass for it. Not
only for automobiles, but for dozens
of other uses, glass comes into use.
The glass industry is very dependent
on the chemist.
Various fertilizers are now being
used in the middlewest, as well in the
older farm lands in the east. The
ingredients of fertilizers must be de
termined by the chemist, and he must
take into consideration many things,
such as soil and crop requirements.
Value of Chemistry
Had it not been for the chemist,
we would have exhausted the wolrd's
supply of oil many years ago. In the
not-far-distant future, we will prob
ably be obtaining oil from the oil
shales throughout the world.
The manufacture of tile, brick,
porcelain, and other clay products
has been benefited by the chemist.
Acid-proof clay products have been
made due to the activity of the
chemist.
The dye manufacturer has great
use for the chemist. Most dyes are
made from a few relatively simple
substances obtained during the dis
tilaltion of bituminous coal, which it
self is a chemical industry.
Bakelite, Redmanol, and Karolith
are new products, made possible af
ter long research by chemists. The
last mentioned product is made from
crsein, formerly a waster product in
the skim-milk of the creameries. It
is used in the making of fountain
pen barrels.
The preparation of rubber in all
its forms has been done by chemists.
A practical gain made by chemist, is
shown in the increased mileage of i
tires, now and fifteen years ago.
Alcohol, which is of greatest of
value in some industries such as the
fanufacture of formaldehyde, has
been made of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen.

or unofficially, with the results of
its research on the problems that the
state faces.
With this assumption as a basis,
Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the
University of Wisconsin, traced the
progress of the Wisconsin Idea of
Service to the state, as a recent con
ference of business leaders of the
state held under auspices of the Uni
versity School of; Commerce.
"Specifically I am here to symbol-
izo the belief that the University of
Wisconsin should render to the busi
ness development of Wisconsin dur
ing the next twenty-five years as
constructive service as it has render
ed to the agricultural development of
Wisconsin during the last twenty-five
years," asserted President Frank.
Wisconsin Is Leader
"The University of Wisconsin was
a pioneer in the close linking of the
learning of a university with the life
of a state. A little more than twen
ty-five years ago the University of
Wisconsin emerged with an almost
magic suddenness from a convention
al place among conventional univer
sities to a position of national lead'
ership. And the secret of that sud
den rise to power and prestige was
this in Wisconsin, scholarship
ceased to be the idol of pedants and
became an instrument of the people.
"The doctors of the university
turned their attention to the dairy
barns of the state. The economists
of the university dealt with the
techniques of the Wisconsin industry
as well as with the theories of Adam
Smith and Ricardo. Men of the cap
and gown left their academic clois
ters to serve on commissions at the
Capitol which were dealing with the
social and economic operations of the
commonwealth. Cynical journalists,
noting the creative influence of the
university in the agricultural life of
the state, referred to the University
of Wisconsin as a "cow university,"
but the net result of this intimate in.
terlocking of the learning of the uni
versity and the life of the state was a
great and glowing period in the de-
vejopment of this state.
Cites Background
"But there were flies in the oint
ment. Maybe there were not. May
be there were men in Wisconsin who
could not tell the difference between
a bird of paradise and a fly. But at
any rate there came a reaction
against this attempt of the learning
of the university to come out of its
monkish cloister into the market
place. Some men began to raise the cry
Shall we have a state university or
a university state? And there is
nothing to be gained by deluding
ourselves a period of reaction set
in. The learning of the university
and the life of the state had been in
timately inter-related. A period of
Unscrambling set in. Criticized as
an impertinent meddler, the univer
sity naturally tended to withdraw in
to its own shell and follow the more
common course of conventional uni
versities. For a time state and uni
versity joined in the elaboration of
The Wisconsin Idea, which was, to
put it simply, to put a fact basis un
der the procedures of the life of Wis
consin. But the actual administra
tion of this idea fell into so many
political and personal entanglements
that it blew up. And for several
years the intimate inter-relation of
the learning of the university with
the life of the state was more rhetor.
ic than reality. And I cannot but
believe that both state and univer
sity have suffered from this break.
New Wisconsin Idea
"This meeting tonight under the
auspices of the University's School of
Commerce is, I hope a sign that the
Wisconsin Idea is on its way to a
fruitful reincarnation. It is possible.
I think to effect a reincarnation of
The Wisconsin Idea that will not en
counter the difficulties that beset the
Idea in its first form.
"This New Wisconsin Idea cannot
be misinterpreted as the idea of the
university carrying out into the state

It is rather the idea of the university
as the research arm of the state, the
research arm of the people of the
state the farmers, the manufactur
ers, the bankers, the laboring men,
the professional men, and so on.
The New Wisconsin Idea does not
mean the university's doing some
thing with the people. It means that
the people of the state and the scho
lars of the university shall sit down
together before research is begun
and talk over the problems upon
which light is needed. And out of
such conferences the scholars of the
university will get as much benefit as
the people of the state will get. This
meeting is a case of the business men
of the state sitting down with the
scholars of the university to talk over
the service the University of Wiscon
sin may render to the business life
of Wisconsin. It is not a case of the
university's trying to tell the business
men of the state how to run their
businesses. When you put along'''"
this business men's conference like
conferences of farmers and laboring
men and professional men, you vis
ualize the human links between the
learning of the university and .the
life of the state that the New Wis
consin Idea implies."
LEACOCK LAUGHS AT
'VERTICAL CAMPUS'
Humorist Says that Cathedral of
Knowledge in Pittsburgh
Is Wrong Idea
Montreal, Can. (New Student
Service) Stephen Leacock, better
known as a humorist than as profes
sor of economics at McGill univer
sity, was hardly joking when he told
University of Pittsburgh students
that their Cathedral of Learning, or
"high-up" building, as he calls it, is
all wrong.
"I should prefer the dream life
and elm trees of the old college cam
pus to anything the Cathedral of
Learning might offer," he said.
"Your campus will be rubber trees
on the fiftieth floor and the shaded
lanes will be elevator pits!
Says World Is Changing
"I have realized that the world has
changed since my youth. When I
first heard of the proposed design
for the Cathedral of Learning I
could hardly believe that so extra
ordinary a building would be put into
actual effect. Now I begin to think
that my ideals and those of the older
generation will go the same path as
prejudices and hates.
"But even up there on the fiftieth
floor," Mr. Leacock admitted, "you
will be doing characteristic work. We
can like the White Knight in Alice
in Wonderland, learn to think upside
down if we only know how."
