ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
1851 The University of Minnesota was created but it wasn't until 1867 that official classes started (at a prepatory level.) In 1869, the University proper was established. 1867 Edward Twining, M.A., who was an instructor in natural science in the prepatory department from 1867 to 1869 was the first professor of chemistry which he held until 1872. 1896 The School of Chemistry was organized and a single course in Analytical Chemistry was offered. The school was affiliated with the College of Science, Liturature and the Arts. 1904 The School of Chemistry reorganized as an individual unit. George B. Frankforter, Professor of Chemistry from 1893 to 1926, was made Dean until 1917. 1919 President Burton advocates the creation of the Institute of Technology consisting of the College of Engineering and Architecture and the School of Chemistry which would be under one dean, Lauder W. Jones, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota from 1918 to 1920. 1935 The Institute of Technology was established. It included the College of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Chemistry and the School of Mines and Metallurgy. Samuel C. Lind, Professor of Chemistry from 1926 to 1949, was the first Dean. 1949 The School of Chemistry was reorganized with two departments; the Department of Chemistry (Analytical, Inorganic, Organic and Physical) and the Department of Chemical Engineering.
