Church Teachers College. Dept. of Chemistry

In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the Colleges departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. In 1920, when the College was split into the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education, the Department of Chemistry retained its name and function under the administration of the School of Arts and Sciences.
