http://hdl.handle.net/10407/8293515400

E.H.S Bailey, the University of Kansas' first, and for many years, only, chemistry professor, served K.U. from 1883-1933. Bailey specialized in chemical analyses of food products, and his leadership led to the founding of the Kansas State Board of Health. His personal papers primarily include record books documenting his own academic study and research, as well as the administrative duties of chemistry professorship and the Kansas State Board of Health, 1870s-1905. A 1923 scrapbook commemorates his 40 years of service to the University.The "Bailey Boys" refers both to his four surviving sons [a fifth died in infancy], and to his graduate students in Chemistry, many of whom rose to prominence on the faculty at K.U., as well as at other universities.
