Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Record of the Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, Vol. 54: March, 1977
The National Science Foundation has awarded an Undergraduate Research Project grant to Hampden Sydney, according to a spokesman for the Department of Chemistry at the College. Grants were awarded to 148 colleges and universities nationally and to only 3 colleges or universities in Virginia. The grant awarded to hampden-sydney was the only grant awarded to an institution in Virginia without a graduate program. It was also the only grant awarded in chemistry to a Virginia institution.
The primary objective of the Undergraduate Research Project program is to provide promising students with firsthand experience in the research process. In addition, Undergraduate Research Projects expand the students' knowledge and help them develop the degree of creativity essential to scientific inquiry.
Four rising senior chemistry majors will be directly involved in the program this summer and two will be involved in preliminary support functions. The work of the six men will be coordinated by Dr. Herbert J. Sipe, Jr. And Dr. Douglas S. Thompson, both associate professors of chemistry at the College. The four students and their projects are: Philip M. Bayliss of Westport, Connecticut, who Will employ electron spin resonance spectroscopy to investigate the electronic structure of several organic compounds that contain silicon atoms. Mr. Bayliss will be continuing studies conducted during the present academic year as a student in an advanced laboratory course. He will report on his work to date at the May meeting of the Virginia Academy of Science in a paper jointly authored by fellow chemistry majors George K. Bumgardner of Columbia, South Carolina, Frederick A. Gall of Charleston, West Virginia, and Professor Sipe.
