【简介】 The first professor of chemistry, dr. Christian Knakkergaard Moller, was appointed on April 1, 1966, as were 11 other professors. They were to receive the first students of the new university at semester start, 1 September 1966. About one third of the 180 newly matriculated students wanted to study medicine. These 59 were the first students to receive chemistry lessons at Odense University. During 1966 further three teachers of chemistry were appointed to assist at the lectures. The entire university, and thereby Department of Chemistry, was sited at The Engineering College of Odense in the new "block E". The block had been projected, but building activities were accelerated because of the great need for room. As the university grew, block E became too narrow and a still larger number of departments and institutes moved to 'barakkerne', a row of temporary buildings near The Engineering College. Department of Chemistry stayed in block E together with e.g. Department of Anatomy. In the end, however, it became too narrow for them too, and in 1972-73 the laboratory exercises courses in chemistry were given in 'barakkerne'. In August 1973 the department moved, as one of the first departments, to the permanent building at Campus. For many years, about one third of the "natural" area of Department of Chemistry was inhabited by The Physics Department until they were given their own section. Gradually, the need for room increased, and in August 1996 a new building sec tion was opened and the departmental area thereby considerably extended.
