Summary

[edit]
Description

Harvey Wiley, Chief Chemist of the Division of Chemistry and other division employees sometime after 1890. A pioneering professor of chemistry at Purdue University, Wiley came to Washington in 1882 after being turned down for the presidency of the university because he was deemed “too young and jovial,” “not orthodox in religion,” and a “bachelor to boot.” In Washington, however, he became an effective advocate for pure food and drugs. He was especially popular with women’s groups and his secretary recalled that she knew he was going out on the ladies’ luncheon circuit on the days he came to work dressed in his top hat and tails.
