Perhaps the most extensive system is run by Professor Fieser of Organic Chemistry, who recommends over 100 pre-meds each year. Fieser has an elaborate chart-complete with photograph-made up for each student so that his progress through the course can be clearly charted. Very poor students and very good ones have personal conferences with Fieser. Finally, when the student comes in to the Organic office in his senior year bearing forms to be filled out, Fieser has a 15 minute interview with him and then immediately dictates a letter which is run off in duplicate and sent...
This variety of methods shows a lack of coordination between the various courses. Certain innovations, such as Fieser's photograph idea, should be used as much as possible in each of the big science courses. The whole system in Biology I should be revised, and the assistant professor liberated. Futhermore, the heads of the courses should check with the medical schools themselves, for some schools definitely favor one form of recommendation over another, and it is bad policy to antagonize an admissions committee by ignoring its petty likes and dislikes. Although problems vary from department to department, it should...
Gareth M. Green '53 dashed his way through seven complicated syntheses last week in a little over four hours to win the annual Marius Yellow competition in Chemistry 20, Professor Louis F. Fieser announced yesterday. Green edged out Jordan Joseph '54 for first-place honors, while John V. Merrick Sp finished third...
...Although Fieser has taught Chemistry 20 for twenty-two years and "wouldn't think of giving it up," the laboratory is still his first love. "I try to work in my lab as much as I can," he says. "The curiosity of unraveling secrets, the satisfaction of finding something new--it's exciting...
