The Eugene Paul Schoch Papers reflect much
of Dr. Schoch's research while a faculty member at the University of Texas at
Austin. He was elected to positions at the University as follows: Chemistry
Instructor, 1897, Assistant Professor, 1905, Associate Professor, 1908,
Professor of Physical Chemistry, 1911, Professor of Chemical Engineering, 1938,
Director Bureau of Industrial Chemistry, 1928. In 1912, Dr. Schoch studied the
production of reactive hydrocarbons from methane. During World War II, he
researched the production of acetylene. His research later concentrated on the
effect of the electric current on natural gas. Dr. Schoch secured several
patents during his years with the University, including
"Dehydrated and Charred Lump Lignite and
Processes of Producing the Same," 1932,
"Method and Apparatus for Glow Discharge
Treatment of Gases," 1947, and
"Method of and Apparatus for Producing
Acetylene," 1947. He retired in 1954.
The bulk of the collection is research
materials including notes, notebooks, notecards, blueprints and drawings, and
correspondence. Materials pertaining to the University itself include masters'
theses and student reports, 1924-1944, faculty meeting minutes, 1945, and
miscellaneous materials concerning the honorary society Sigma Xi. The majority
of books contained in the collection have been transferred to the Chemistry
Library, while others remain at the Texas Collection Library. Printed material
in the collection mainly consists of pamphlets, booklets, and magazine
articles.
This collection is stored off-site. Please
