On February 19, 1998, the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers became 100 years old. Of its beginning, Lyman C. Newell, a charter member and first president of the association, wrote, "Men of kindred tastes and aims have always sought inspiration in union. This principle is especially applicable to scientists. It is not unusual, therefore, that the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers should have come into existence through the desire of several teachers of chemistry to have an organization." Sixteen teachers, including two women, became the charter members.
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.
