History
The Department of Chemistry originated in 1830 with the appointment of the first independent Professor of Chemistry. Prior to this, chemistry instruction had been provided as an adjunct to medicine or natural philosophy and was first taught in 1796 at Anderson's Institution (antecedent of the University of Strathclyde). In 1964, the Department of Chemistry merged with the Department of Chemical Technology to form the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
