This web exhibit is based on an exhibit currently installed in the Parsons-Gates Hall of Administration at Caltech.

You can learn more about the Gates Laboratory of Chemistry in which the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering grew up in our companion exhibit, “‘Throop’s Superlative Opportunity’: The Story of the Gates Laboratory of Chemistry.”

As we wrote this exhibit, we consulted the following sources, from which you can learn more about Caltech history and the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering:
