A major figure in the history of catalysis chemistry, Emmett was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1955 and worked at a handful of institutions, including The Johns Hopkins University, where he chaired the Chemical Engineering Department until his retirement in 1971. Claude F. Palmer, also a graduate with the Class of 1922, was a past president of both the OSC Alumni Association and the OSC Foundation. Lynn P. Sabin, Class of 1920, was a former president of the OSC Alumni Association.
