Petrus Ramus (1515 - 1572) professor of philosophy and mathematics; champion of revival of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and physics in the educational curriculum (which had fallen into neglect) by emphasizing the practical origins and applications of these subjects.

Henricus Brucaeus (1531 - 1593) professor of mathematics and medicine; wrote texts on the plague, scurvy, and the mathematics of spheres and motion.

Petrus Pauw (1564 - 1617) professor of medicine, anatomy, and botany; wrote a text on skeletal anatomy and gave excellent descriptions of the frontal and maxillary sinuses; wrote with Fabricius a description of the intestinal valves.

Menelaus Winsemius (1591 - 1637) professor of medicine, anatomy, and botany; improved the botanical gardens at the University of Franeker; published, with his students, an anatomical compendium.

Johannes Antonides van der Linden (1609 - 1664) professor of medicine, anatomy, and botany; philologist and philosopher; published books on medical bibliography, physiology, milk, and venereal diseases; published an edition of Hippocrates' Opera Omnia and an edition of Celsius' De Medicina.

Petrus Hoffvenius (1630 - 1682) professor of medicine; called the father of Swedish medicine; supporter of Descartes; studied the pineal gland and respiration.

Petrus Elvius (1660 - 1718) astronomer, mathematician; wrote textbooks on astronomical observation and logarithmic tables designed a planetarium based on Copernican theory; pioneered giving lectures in Swedish rather than Latin; published and corrected almanacs.

Anders Gabriel Duhre (1680 - 1739) popularized teaching classes in Swedish; wrote one of the first textbooks on algebra in Swedish.

Torbern Olof Bergman (March 20, 1735 Katrineberg, Sweden, - July 8, 1784 Medevi, Sweden) was a Swedish chemist and mineralogist noted for his 1775 Dissertation on Elective Attractions, containing the largest chemical affinity tables ever published. Bergman was the first chemist to use the A, B, C, etc., system of notation for chemical species.

Johan Afzelius (1753 - 1837) was a Swedish chemist and did mineral analyses (e.g., barium selenite) and he is notable for having isolated formic acid from ants and showed it was different from acetic acid. He also studied the chemistry of nickel and oxalic acid.

Friherre Jöns Jacob Berzelius (20 August 1779 - 7 August 1848) was a Swedish chemist. He invented the modern chemical notation, and is together with John Dalton, Antoine Lavoisier, and Robert Boyle considered a father of modern chemistry.

Wilhelm Rudolph Fittig (b. December 6, 1835, Hamburg, Germany - November 19, 1910) was a German chemist. Fittig was responsible for discovery of the pinacol coupling reaction, mesitylene, diacetyl and biphenyl. He studied the action of sodium on ketones and hydrocarbons. He discovered the Fittig reaction or Wurtz-Fittig reaction for the synthesis of alkylbenzenes, he proposed a diketone structure for benzoquinone and isolated phenanthrene from coal tar. He discovered and synthesized the first lactones and investigated structures of piperine naphthalene and fluorene.

Ira Remsen (February 10, 1846 - March 4, 1927) was a chemist who, along with Constantin Fahlberg discovered the artificial sweetener saccharin. He was the second president of Johns Hopkins University.

James Norris was a member of the Naval Consulting Board and during World War I he served as a Lt. Colonel in the Chemical Warfare Service. After the war, he served for ten years as vice chairman and chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the National Research Council. He was an active member of the ACS and is fondly remembered as "Sunny Jim".

Avery Ashdown faculty member in the department of Chemistry, was chosen as the first Housemaster of the first graduate house at MIT in 1933. He was Housemaster for 28 years and was the first faculty resident in any of the dormitories at MIT.

Robert Burns Woodward (April 10, 1917 - July 8, 1979) was an American organic chemist. He made many important contributions to modern organic chemistry, especially in the synthesis and structure determination of complex natural products, and worked closely with Roald Hoffmann on theoretical studies of chemical reactions. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1965.

Ronald C. D. Breslow (born 14 March 1931, Rahway, New Jersey) is a U.S. chemist. He is currently University Professor at Columbia University, where he is based in the Department of Chemistry and affiliated with the Departments of Biological Sciences and Pharmacology; he has also been on the faculty of its Department of Chemical Engineering. He has taught at Columbia since 1956 and is a former chair of the university's chemistry department.

Robert H. Grubbs (b. 27 February 1942 in Possum Trot, Kentucky) is an American chemist and Nobel laureate. His main interests in organometallic chemistry and synthetic chemistry are catalysts, notably Grubbs' catalyst for olefin metathesis and ring-opening metathesis polymerization with cyclic olefins such as norbornene. He also contributed to the development of so-called "living polymerization".

SonBinh T. Nguyen (b. 6 December 196? in Vietnam) is an American chemist and the McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence, Dow Chemical Company Research Professor, Professor of Chemistry, and Director of the Integrated Science Program at Northwestern University. His research interest are varied and include: catalysis, inorganic/organic materials, and nanoscale drug delivery.
