The W. Heinlen Hall Lectureship:
W. Heinlen Hall was Professor of Chemistry at Bowling Green State University from 1936 to 1971. He served as Chair of the Department through a period of extraordinary University growth, retiring from that position in 1971, and from teaching in 1976. Many fine undergraduate students remember Professor Hall's physical chemistry lab and the formative role it played in their careers. Perhaps Dr. Hall's most important lasting contribution to the University was his continual and persistent interest in the science library and particularly the chemistry collection. It was his unyielding effort which built the library in chemistry and which has prepared the University for its future growth into a research oriented, Ph.D. granting institution. This is legacy of which Dr. Hall is extremely proud, and justifiably so.
On the occasion of Dr. Hall's retirement from teaching the Department established the W. Heinlen Hall lectures. The lectureship presents the world's leading research chemists to the students in chemistry in a series of lectures during the summer session. The purpose of the program is to expose Bowling Green undergraduate and graduate students to thinking in chemistry at the frontiers, and to introduce our young people to intellectual leaders.
From rather modest beginnings the W. Heinlen Hall lectureship has grown into a summer event which students and faculty look forward to. Though the lectureship presents individuals from all areas of chemistry, every department member generally attends.
The University faculty member makes a lasting impression on each and every student in each and every class in which the professor serves as instructor. Recognition of Dr. Hall's contribution to Bowling Green's many chemistry students over the course of his career, in a small way recognizes the contribution of all the faculty in the Chemistry Department to the growth and development of their students from the day BGSU was founded to today. The W. Heinlen Hall Lectureship is a symbol of what this University, and many like it, stand for.
