Charles F. Chandler Collection—Preliminary InTentory
Charles P. Chandler was one of the nation's outstanding industrial
and legal/chemists of the period 1870-1915. In addition to his .
positions ac Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University's School
of Kines (186^-1910), the College of ^rmacy (1866-97) and the College
of Physicians and Surgeons (1872-?), Chandler maintained a wide
consulting practice, specialising in legal cases Involving chemical
processes. As the U.S. Circuit Court of the Southern District of
New York became increasingly important in patent litigation in the
later nineteenth century, Chandler and Henry Korton, the President
of the Stevens Institute of Technology, worked with the top law firms
of the city to protect their clients' claims and processes. Thus,
although Chandler invented no processes, he was a friend of several
who did and one of the best paid chemists of his time.
Chandler's lifestyle was that of the New York City clubman at the
turn of the century. There he socialized with the lawyers and
chemists of the city and made the contacts with businessmen and
lawyers he so much enjoyed and which were so necessary to his trade.
In the comfortable club setting Chandler found it easy to talk to such
raen and to convince them of the very practical and profitable uses of
applied chemistry. He was a member of at least 60 different organization
most of which related to chemistry, but several were purely social,
as the Union League Club, the Century Club and the New York Farmers.
Chandler had not always led such a life,although he was very
early a leader of his colleagues and a founder of clubs. He was born
in New Bedford, Mass, in modest circumstances in 1836, attended the
n
Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard for one year (1853-4), and
then, at the urging of Charles A. Joy, Chandler and several friends
left for Friedrich Wohler's laboratory in Gftttingen, Germany for
a year. After an additional year with Heinrich Rose in Berlin,
Chandler rec^ved his Ph.D. in absentia from Gottingen in 1856
at the age of twenty for a thesis on miscellaneous researches in
mineral chemistry. Upon his return to the U.S., Chandler found
jobs quite scarce and after a Vrisf attempt to start a consulting
laboratory in New Bedford, he Joined Prof. C, A. Joy at Union
"College as his assistant and janitor. When Joy lsft a few years
later for Columbia, Chandler became Professor of Chemistry at Union.
While there he started consulting and doing analyses on the side
for such groups as ISdward C, Dslavan's temperance movement and the
N.Y. Central Railroad. When Thomas Egleston of New York and several
C owners visiter jnion in the early 1860fs, they-were impressed with
Chandler's work in applied chemistry, A few years later, when they
i«?sre starting the School of Mines at Columbia, they ehose Chandler
as Professor of Chemistry.
At Columbia, Chandler directed the growth of the School and remained
its Dean until 1897. Under his administration tue School underwent
phenomenal growth, since its appearance coincided with the rapid
development of the chemical and engineering industries in the U.S.
Blessed with tremendous energy and good health, Chandler gave his
lectures on topics in applied chemistry early in the morning and
devoted the rest of his day to administration and consulting work.
In addition he and his brother William Chandler of tehigh University
edited a journal on applied chemistry, the American Chemist, for
several years in the lo?0fs. Chandler also Mrote a great many
in
technical articles for Johnson's Encyclopedia, edited by F.A.F.
Barnard, President of Columbia University, in the 1870's and 1880's.
Chandler was also a member of the N.Y. Board of Health from 1868
to 1883 (and President from 1873-83 at a salary of J6500) where
he introduced scientific methods for the detection of adulterated
.milk and kerosene. Bitter at his defeat for reelection in I883f
Chandler gave up his attempts at reform, which he felt were not
adequately appreciated, and turned exclusively to industrial chemistry.
In this work he came, ironically, to defend large companies against
his former allies the reformers, as in the case of P^ter Cooper's
Glue Factory vs. the City of Brooklyn and in his defense of the
corn syrup interests vs. Harvey Wiley's Pure Food and Drug forces.
Chandler's method of work was to read and clip widely from encyclo-
pedias, textbooks, journals, newspapers, and trade journals, thus
( 1/icai/ij.i^ CAU5IWJL»O uauaigiuuiia j.j.j.00 uu a n piicaoco UA
Then when an interesting case came along, he was prepared to focusand advantageous
on the fine points of precise/dsfinitionr; and particular tests so
necessary to a legal case. To save time he usually hired several
junior members of the Columbia chemistry department staff to perform
his analyses. He then used their results to prepare his testimony.
He became such a master of the art of testifying in court that his
record of court victories was wollAand attracted more and more clients.
Chandler did very few researches of his own and for this, as well
as for his extensive consulting and departmental favoritism, was
confronted with a departmental rebellion in 1899. But Chandler
defended himself ably in a 50-page letter to President Seth Low,
primarily on the grounds that his wide outside practice and reputation
were advantageous to a school of applied science and also necessary
as a F.ears of underwriting ths activities cf the Chemistry Department
which Columbia itself was supporting very inadequately. Chandler
managed to survive the rebellion without haring to submit a
r^ resignation, but the whole episode hurt him deeply,
Chandler's proclivity for lucrative applied science also
disturbed his professional colleagues outside Columbia sufficiently
to delay his election several years to the National Academy of Sciences.
Once elected, however, he served the Academy well, since his very
practical skills were just the sort needed by numerous NA3 committees,
as those on wool1, opium, alcohol, glucose, sorghum and ink on which
he served. Chandler considered work on these committees as charitable
contributions, for he would have charged- several hundred dollars for
similar tests and reports for an industrial client. His most frequent
fellow committee members were Ira Reins en, George F, Barker, Henry
Morton anctailliam H. Brewer, most of whom he already worked with
regularly.r
Despite his Columbia colleagues' criticisms, Chandler remained
very popular with the students. At his retirement in 1910 at the
age of 7^, ssveral student and alumni groups honored him in a long
series of dinners and festivities. Chandler then reduced his
professinnal activity and spent increasing amounts of time with
his second wife Augusta Berard Chandler at her family home in New
Hartford, Conn, where he died in 1925..(His first wife Anna Craig
Chandler of Sohenectady, N.Y.. and the descendant of apparently wealthy
landowners, had died in 1895 a^d Chandler had handled her, as well as
many other family, estates.)
Although Chandler was very popular and successful in New York City,
in his own day, he did very little that might have lived after him,
f~ Since hs discovered no law or process and did no important researches,
once the people he had influenced directly had passed away, his own
career dropped from all but local memory. But his extensive collection
r^ described below gives a good idea of the universe in which an applied
chemist of the period 1860-1915 lived and worked. Chandler's
interest were very wide, and he took great pride in covering all
phases of applied chemistry. The collection documents his extensive
interests and activities with over eighty different subject headings.
Over the years Chandler's interests blossomed out from mineralogy
and water, two standard fields in the 1860*3, to include new areas
such as dyes, gas, electricity, aluminum and electrometallurgy,
photography, soda, rubber, cement and sugar as well as the older fields
that were becomingly increasingly subject to chemistry as soaps, food,
ceramics, pharmacy, tanning and sewage. Chandlers career thus spanned
the era between the academic chemists of the 1850's, who like Ben-
jamin Silliman, Jr. did a few analyses on the side and wrote occasional
mine reports, and the industrial laboratories after 1900 with their
staffs of trainsd chemists devoted to specific problems and the develop-
ment of new products.
Chandler's collection should be of interest as much for the
light it cas^s on the social history of New York in this period as
for what it shows of the history of chemistry at the time. Chandler's
extensive files of clippings and advertisements as well as his whole
career show well the increasing role of science and technology in the
daily life of Americans, His attempts at social reform through the
N.Y. Board of Health and other group3 show a side e£ the growth of
large cities that has received little attentlnn, and his collection
of household and personal bills and receipts give useful details of
*~ the costs and problems of living the affluent life in New York City
between 1880 and 1915.

Note: This collection consists of 228 boxes, 76 separate
Tolumes and one folio arranged as described in the following pages.
Although this description should be self-explanatory, the diligent
scholar should be forewarned that even though there may be a separate
subheading for a particular topic, as an N.A.S. committee, this does
nottule out there being further related material in the more general
"notes and cli-D-oin s" and "correspondence" sections of the sain« ov«r«.n
category. Unfortunately in seven weeks there -was not enough time for
such refined sorting.
