School of Chemistry, UNSW

The Howard lectures are delivered at the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney by a scientist who has pre-eminence in the area of Organic Chemistry or a related discipline. The lectures are funded by a bequest left to both Universities in 1993 by the late Harold Theodore Howard. Howard obtained his B.Sc. from Sydney University and graduated from Sydney Teachers College in Chemistry and Organic Chemistry (Pure and Applied). He taught chemistry for many years (1925-62) and upon retirement in 1966 carried out further research in saponins and steroid chemistry as an Honorary Research Associate at Macquarie University (1966-77) and the University of New South Wales (1978-85).
