PRINTEDINTHEUNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA Foreword The ACS Symposium Series was first published in 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from the ACS sponsoredsymposiabasedoncurrentscientificresearch. Occasionally,booksare developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is of keeninteresttothechemistryaudience.

Inthelast500years,theworldwidecommunityofchemistryhas produced individuals who attempted to synthesize a coherent viewofchemistrythatcouldbetaughttoactualstudents. The followingessayisneitherexhaustivenordefinitive,butitdoes attempt to paint a picture of how particular chemists carried out this task in their own times. It also attempts to define the characteristics of good chemical preceptors. Even chemical geniuses can become so focused on their own work that they are not understood by the bulk of their contemporaries and cannotcontributetothesynopticviewofchemistryneededfor effectiveteaching.

Prologue The publication of the book Inventing Chemistry: Herman Boerhaave and theReformoftheChemicalArts(1)byJohnPowersin2012ledtoadiscussionof theroleofHermanBoerhaave(1668-1738)asapreceptorinchemistry. Professor Powers and I shared a love both of the work and writings of Boerhaave and of the teaching of chemistry. It was proposed that a symposium on preceptors in chemistry be organized to further explore this area. This symposium was held at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego, California on March 13, 2016. The program included talks by Bruce Moran on Andreas Libavius, JohnPowersonHermanBoerhaave,BernadetteBensaude-VincentontheFrench chemists Macquer, Rouelle and Venell, Vera Mainz on Dmitri Mendeleev, Jay Labinger on Fred Basolo, Steve Weininger on Paul Bartlett and Gary Patterson onLinusPauling. In order to continue the discussion in print, additional scholars were recruited to contribute chapters on additional preceptors. While some of the ©2018AmericanChemicalSociety
