Biographical Sketch
William Martin Blanchard retired from the DePauw faculty in September 1941, the oldest member of the faculty at the time, after coming to DePauw University in the fall of 1901 as professor of chemistry at the age of 26. He was one of very few teachers who came to DePauw with the rank of full professor. A native of North Carolina and a graduate of Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, Professor Blanchard came to Indiana in 1900 after receiving the Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins University to take a place as instructor on the faculty of Rose Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute. A year later upon the death of Phillip S. Baker, head of the department of chemistry at DePauw, William Blanchard was given his post on the DePauw faculty. In 1937 he was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Science degree by Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa.
