W.H. Ellis' Laboratory Notes
Chemistry classes were taught by W.H. Ellis who was appointed Professor of Applied Chemistry in 1880. From 1878 until 1885 the SPS had just these two--Galbraith and Ellis--as directly appointed teaching staff, though students also received instruction in some subjects at University College. [1]
Ellis carried out his own research in the SPS Chemistry Laboratories. Much of this work involved testing for poisons for case proceedings for the Ontario Department of the Attorney General.
