The W. Heinlen Hall
Lectureship
The Man and the History of the Lectureship
 W.
Heinlen Hall was Professor of Chemistry at Bowling Green State
University
from 1936 to 1971. He served as Chair of the Department through a
period
of extraordinary University growth, retiring from that position in
1971,
and from teaching in 1976. Many fine undergraduate students remember
Professor
Hall's physical chemistry lab and the formative role it played in their
careers.
Perhaps Dr. Hall's most important lasting contribution to the
University
was his continual and persistent interest in the science library and
particularly
the chemistry collection. It was his unyielding effort which built the
library
in chemistry and which has prepared the University for its future
growth
into a research oriented, Ph.D. granting institution. This is legacy of
which
Dr. Hall is extremely proud, and justifiably so.
On the occasion
of Dr. Hall's retirement from teaching the Department established the
W.
Heinlen Hall lectures. The lectureship presents the world's leading
research
chemists to the students in chemistry in a series of lectures during
the
summer session. The purpose of the program is to expose Bowling Green
undergraduate
and graduate students to thinking in chemistry at the frontiers, and to
introduce
our young people to intellectual leaders.
From rather modest
beginnings the W. Heinlen Hall lectureship has grown into a summer
event
which students and faculty look forward to. Though the lectureship
presents
individuals from all areas of chemistry, every department member
generally
attends.
The University faculty member makes a lasting impression
on each and every student in each and every class in which the
professor
serves as instructor. Recognition of Dr. Hall's contribution to Bowling
Green's
many chemistry students over the course of his career, in a small way
recognizes
the contribution of all the faculty in the Chemistry Department to the
growth
and development of their students from the day BGSU was founded to
today.
The W. Heinlen Hall Lectureship is a symbol of what this University,
and
many like it, stand for.
