1/3
Fifteen prominent chemical engineers first met in New York more than 60 years
ago to plan a continuing literature for their rapidly growing profession. From
industry came such pioneer practitioners as Leo H. Baekeland, Arthur D. Little,
Charles L. Reese, John V. N. Dorr, M. C. Whitaker, and R. S. McBride. From
the universities came such eminent educators as William H. Walker, Alfred H.
White, D. D. Jackson, J. H. James, Warren K. Lewis, and Harry A. Curtis. H. C.
Parmelee, then editor ofChemical and Metallu~cal Engineering, served aschairman and was joined subsequently by S. D. Kirkpatrick as consulting editor.
After several meetings, this committee submitted its report to the
McGraw-Hill Book Company in September 1925. In the report were detailedspecifications for a correlated series of more than a dozen texts and reference
books which have since become the McGraw-Hill Series in Chemical Engineering
and which became the cornerstone of the chemical engineering curriculum.From this beginning there has evolved a series of texts surpassing by far
the scope and longevity envisioned by the founding Editorial Board. TheMcGraw-Hill Series in Chemical Engineering stands as a unique historical
record of the development of chemical engineering education and practice. In
the series one finds the milestones of the subjects evolution: industrial chemistry,
stoichiometry, unit operations and processes, thermodynamics, kinetics,
and transfer operations.Chemical engineering is a dynamic profession, and its literature continues
to evolve. McGraw-Hill, with its editor, B. J. Clark and consulting editors,
remains committed to a publishing policy that will serve, and indeed lead, theneeds of the chemical engineering profession during the years to come.
