This is a review of chemical education activities, starting in the 19th century with the beginnings of academic chemistry in the United States. The interaction of academic chemistry and the chemical industry as a "training ground" at both the undergraduate and graduate levels permanently shaped the nature of the environment for academic chemistry. That condition still persists today. The paper describes the evolution of the undergraduate and graduate educational experiences under the influence of ACS policies. The growing impact of interactive digital technology on the educational process is developed and a future-oriented scenario is presented.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
