Albert C. Zettlemoyer
Albert C. Zettlemoyer,
an internationally renowned
surface and colloid chemist
and a former university
provost, died Sunday at his
home in Bethlehem.
Fortunate J. Micale,
professor of chemistry and
a colleague of Zettlemoyer's, said Zettlemoyer had
been working in Sinclair
Laboratory until two weeks
     ago.
"He would.come in almost every day for about
three hours," said Micale. "He had an active research
project that was sponsored by DuPont, with which he
had a longstanding involvement."
Zettlemoyer, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of
Chemistry at Lehigh, joined the university faculty in
1941, the year he received his Ph.D. from M.I.T. He
earned the B.S. and M.S. from Lehigh in 1936 and
1938.
Zettlemoyer served as provost from 1969 to 1980,
as vice president for academic affairs and as the
university's first vice president for research from 1966
to 1969. He founded the National Printing Ink
Institute and the Center for Surface and Coatings
Research, both at Lehigh. The Center was renamed
the Zettlemoyer Center for Surface Studies in 1987.
In 1981, Zettlemoyer served as president of the
American Chemical Society, the nation's largest
organization of chemists and chemical engineers. He
was honored by ACS in 1985 for contributions to
society and to colloid chemistry, and he received the
first Distinguished Service Award from the Lehigh
Valley chapter of ACS in 1990.
Zettlemoyer received honorary degrees from the
Clarkson Institute of Technology and from the China
Academy of Taiwan. He was honorary editor of the
journal Advances in Colloid and Interface Science.
