Congratulations are in order...
Retired Southwestern University chemistry professor Robert Soulen is a new fellow at the American Chemical Society, the national organization announced Thursday. Mr. Soulen, who worked at the liberal arts college from 1964 to 1996 and was chair of the chemistry department for 20 years, will be honored at the national convention of the ACS on September 9 in Indianapolis.

[font color=green]Dr. Soulen is still highly regarded as a professor at Southwestern University. He is a very genial man and was liked by nearly all of his students. He was one of the professors that encouraged his students to strive to achieve their best and I can say that I felt the disappointment of letting him down whenever I knew that I could have done better. He still remembered who I was when I last saw him at Homecoming about 15 years after I graduated.
In addition to his career in chemistry, Dr. Soulen has a wonderful baritone voice and participated in the opera "Curlew River" by Benjamin Britten that was recorded at the Lois Perkins Chapel on campus and later shown on PBS during the 1980s.
I had Dr. Soulen as an instructor in Organic Chemistry and Adsorption Spectroscopy--two of the most difficult classes in my college career and those classes required significant amounts of time in the laboratory, the library and for general study. Congratulations for this recognition by the ACS.[/font]
