It is a great pleasure for me to be associated with Viewpoints: Chemists on Chemistry, a series of papers in this Journal that will delineate the recent past and the near-term future of our science. Viewpoints is a major feature of the celebration of the Journal of Chemical Education's 75th anniversary year. It is being supported by The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc., which recently celebrated its own 50th anniversary. Each paper in the Viewpoints series will be written by a chemist or group of chemists with special expertise in a particular field, with the aim of providing an overview of that field's accomplishments, importance, and prospects. The goal is to reflect on developments during the past 50 years and to predict how each field will evolve over the next 25 years. The total perspective encompassed by Viewpoints corresponds with the 75 years of this Journal's lifetime and reflects its comprehensive interest in all of chemistry. The 50-year retrospective view of each field corresponds with the period during which the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation has been supporting the chemical sciences.

Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
