Chemistry Professor From Chicago to Get '53-'54 Carother Chair

Frank H. Westheimer, professor of Chemistry at the University of Chicago, will be a visting professor here next year, Chemistry Department officials announced yesterday.

Westheimer, who earned his Ph.D. here in 1934, will teach Department Chairman Paul D. Bartlett's courses, allowing Bartlett to accept the Wallace H. Carothers Research Professorship for a year.

The Carothers Chair in pure research is financed annually by the Du Pont Corporation. An outsider is invited here to take the regular place of the Carothers Professors. Bartlett, whose year as chairman ends this spring, will be free of all administrative and teaching duties, and will devote full time to his research group. E. Bright Wilson will become chairman.
