Building the Literature of a Profession
Fifteen prominent chemical engineers first met in New York more than 60 years
ago to plan a continuing literature for their rapidly growing profession. From
industry came such pioneer practitioners as Leo H. Baekeland, Arthur D. Little,
Charles L. Reese, John V. N. Dorr, M. C. Whitaker, and R. S. McBride. From
the universities came such eminent educators as William H. Walker, Alfred H.
White, D. D. Jackson, J. H. James, Warren K. Lewis, and Harry A. Curtis. H. C.
Parmelee, then editor of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, served as chair-
man and was joined subsequently by S. D. Kirkpatrick as consulting editor.
After several meetings, this committee submitted its report to the

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
William L. Luyben received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Penn-
sylvania State University where he was the valedictorian of the Class of 1955. He
worked for Exxon for five years at the Bayway Refinery and at the Abadan
Refinery (Iran) in plant. technical service and design of petroleum processing
units. After earning a Ph.D. in 1963 at the University of Delaware, Dr. Luyben
worked for the Engineering Department of DuPont in process dynamics and
control of chemical plants. In 1967 he joined Lehigh University where he is now
Professor of Chemical Engineering and Co-Director of the Process Modeling and
Control Center.
Professor Luyben has published over 100 technical papers and has
authored or coauthored four books. Professor Luyben has directed the theses of
over 30 graduate students. He is an active consultant for industry in the area of
process control and has an international reputation in the field of distillation
column control. He was the recipient of the
Instrumqntation Technology Award in 1969 from the Instrument Society
r.-.,
of America. f .,y<i ‘.,
Overall, he has devoted ove$? 3$,years to, his profession as a teacher,
researcher, author, and practicing en&eer: ’ ! 1. I’
