Another activity which Eyring frequently participated in was the teaching of summer school from two to four weeks, usually in July or August. In l957, he was not involved in this type of intensive teaching but he was a frequent visiting professor at the summer schools at UCLA and the University of Virginia during the years. At the end of July, l957, Eyring lectured at the University of Colorado at Boulder, then went on to Cleveland for National Carbon consultation. During the first twelve days of August, he lectured at Brattom, Missoula and Butte, Montana, then went on to Calgary, Banff and Jasper in Alberta, Canada for more lecturing. In early September, he was off to the eastern United States to lecture, to consult and to attend meetings of the American Chemical Society; this time to Ottawa, Cleveland and New York City. Scientific professional meetings were particularly valuable to Eyring, not only for what he learned there, but for the contacts with other physical chemists. At these meetings, he would arrange for them to write material for publications for which he served as editor. In l954, he was appointed one of the board of directors for Annual Reviews, Inc. and in l956, he became editor for one of their publications, Annual Review of Physical Chemistry. 44 In addition to his editorial work with Annual Reviews, Inc., he was co-editor with Douglas Henderson, a former student, and Wilhelm Jost, Gottingen University, for a fourteen volume series, Physical Chemistry, An Advanced Treatise for Academic Press, Inc. The first volume of the series was published in l967 and the last three in l975. After completing this work, Henderson and Eyring were asked by Academic Press to edit a four volume series, Theoretical Chemistry Advances and Perspectives (3 vols.) and Theoretical |
