Typescript of paper for Chemistry 101 at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Accompanied by cover sheet on Department of Chemistry letterhead describing the paper, and T.L.s. memo from Seaborg to G. Ross Robertson, Department of Chemistry, dated 17 November 1958, confirming this was the first research paper written by the author. "The accompanying typewritten article is one of the student 'term papers' from files of Chemistry 101, second-semester course in methods of organic chemistry, formerly a normal requirement of chemistry majors at UCLA. A paper of this type constitutes the written report of a short research problem, assigned to give elementary practice in laboratory investigation and scientific writing. This particular student author had special interests in the fields of analytical and physical chemistry rather than synthetic organic chemistry, in contrast with most of the students in Chemistry 101. It was therefore not surprising that he chose a problem which emphasized a physicochemical application of one of the organic compounds prepared in his accompanying synthetic program. Following completion of his undergraduate work at UCLA, and a graduate program at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Seaborg won both the American Chmical Society prize, awarded to young investigators, but also the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."--Department of Chemistry memo.
