Marti Hobbes News Assistant T (413) 585-2190 F (413) 585-2174 mhobbes@smith.edu Office of College Relations Smith College Garrison Hall Northampton, Massachusetts 01063 www.smith.edu/newsoffice November 8, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nobel Prize-Winning Chemist to Read His Poetry at Smith College NORTHAMPTON, Mass.-The Poetry Center at Smith College presents Nobel Prize-winning chemist and poet Roald Hoffmann at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, in Neilson Library Browsing Room. The event is free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible. Hoffmann has the rare honor of being both an acclaimed poet and an internationally renowned chemist. His poetry addresses "the risky enterprise of being human." Of his dual role as poet and scientist Hoffmann writes: "The language of science is a language under stress. Words are being made to describe things that seem indescribable: equations, chemical structures and so forth. Words do not, cannot mean all that they stand for, yet they are all we have to describe experience. ... [T]he language of science is inherently poetic. ... Emotions emerge shaped as states of matter and, more interestingly, matter acts out what goes on in the soul." Hoffmann was born in Zloczow, Poland (now Russia), in 1937. His father was killed organizing an escape from a concentration camp. Hoffmann and his mother survived the Holocaust and-after living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany-immigrated to the United States in 1949. Hoffmann earned his B.A. from Columbia University in 1958 and his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1962. In 1981, Hoffmann won the Nobel Prize for chemistry (with Kenichi Fukui).

Brief Biography of Roald Hoffmann Roald Hoffmann was born in 1937 in Zloczow, Poland. Having survived the war, he came to the U. S. in 1949, and studied chemistry at Columbia University and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1962). Since 1965 he is at Cornell University, now as the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters. He has received many of the honors of his profession, including the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with Kenichi Fukui). "Applied theoretical chemistry" is the way Roald Hoffmann likes to characterize the particular blend of computations stimulated by experiment and the construction of generalized models, of frameworks for understanding, that is his contribution to chemistry. Dr. Hoffmann also writes essays and poems. Two of his poetry collections, "The Metamict State" (1987) and "Gaps and Verges" (1990), have been published by the University Presses of Florida. In 1993 the Smithsonian Institution Press published "Chemistry Imagined". A unique art/science/literature collaboration of Roald Hoffmann with artist Vivian Torrence, "Chemistry Imagined" reveals the creative and humanistic f sparks of the molecular science. In 1995, Columbia University Press published "The Same and Not the Same", a thoughtful account of the dualities that lie under the surface of chemistry. There will be German, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese editions of this book. In 1997 W.H. Freeman published Old Wine, New Flasks; Reflections on Science and Jewish Tradition

The action alternates between 1777 and 2001, the tensions and ambiguities of the 18th century mirrored in the 21st. The play opens in a sauna in Stockholm, where the wives of the three scientists reveal the rivalry among their husbands. Oxygen is an imaginative addition to the long list of publications by the distinguished authors. Djerassi is professor of chemistry at Stanford and perhaps best known as inventor of the birth-control pill. Nobel Prize winner Hoffmann is the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters at Cornell University. A panel discussion on the issues of theatre and science will take place on Thursday, March 6 from 4:30-6:00. This event is sponsored by the College of Mathematics and Physical Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and will feature several distinguished scientists.

Ronald Hoffman was born in Zlocrow, Poland in 1937. He received his B.A. at Columbia University and his Ph.D. in 1962 at Harvard University. He is the only person to ever win the American Chemical Society’s award in three different specific sub fields of chemistry. His contributions to chemistry include his new method of blending mathematical computations together with chemical experimentation to give a more generalized model for better understanding of chemistry. He has taught the chemical community new and useful ways to look at the geometry and reactivity of organic and inorganic molecules. He is presently professor of Chemistry at Cornell University.

He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1949. In 1958, he graduated from Colombia University and After 4years he got his Ph.D. from Harvard University. He develops rules, based on quantum mechanics, to determine how energy levels in atomic electron orbital influence how a chemical reaction takes place. This announcement helped later the chemists in the prediction of reaction results and it helped him also to predict the behavior of some new molecule from the orbit structure of the components that formed them. He won Nobel Prize in 1981 and he works in recent time

Photograph : Melvin Schwartz, '53. Photograph : Julian S. Schwinger, '36. Columbia College, which has graduated more Nobel laureates in science than any other American college, will present to five of them its highest honor, the Alexander Hamilton Medal, this Thursday in Low Rotunda. "These are humanist-scientists, at home with Hamlet and the atom, whose shared experience of Columbia's famed core curriculum sets them apart," said President Rupp. They are: Leon N. Cooper '51, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972; Roald Hoffmann '58, winner of the Nobel in Chemistry in 1981; Norman F. Ramsey, Jr. '35, Nobel laureate in Physics in 1989; Melvin Schwartz '53, who won the Nobel in Physics in 1988, and Julian S. Schwinger '36, posthumously, winner of the Nobel in Physics in 1965. Clarice Schwinger, his widow, will accept the award. A total of nine Nobel Prize winners in science (physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine) are graduates of the College, the record for undergraduate degrees earned at any one school. The other four received the Hamilton Medal in a similar celebration 34 years ago, in 1961. Generally, the medal is awarded to only one individual each year. The medal has been given since 1947 to honor faculty, former faculty or alumni for "distinguished service and accomplishment in any field of human endeavor." Previous winners also include Columbia President Dwight D. Eisenhower and alumni Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
