Abstract
WHEN Dr. C. Doree retired from the post of head of the Department of Chemistry at the Chelsea Polytechnic in 1940, the vacancy was filled by the promotion of Dr. J. C. Crocker, then first assistant in the Department; Dr. Crocker retired at the end of August. Dr. John F. J. Dippy has now been appointed to the post. Educated at University College, Swansea, Dr. Dippy showed early promise as a research worker, and his work has been well recognized in Great Britain and in the United States. He is an energetic man with interests in both pure and applied chemistry. Beginning with a lectureship in chemistry at the Cardiff Technical College (1930), Dr. Dippy moved to a headship at the Mining and Technical College, Wigan (1942), and is at present head of the Department of Chemistry and Biology at the South-East Essex Technical College, Dagenham (since 1945). He has high academic and administrative ability.
