Just to correct the above. There is no such entity as the
"chemical Society" (this was the UK based Chemical Society which became
"The Royal Society of Chemistry" about 20 years ago.
What was meant was the "American Chemical Society".
That society is not generally known as "the chemical society",
although to Americans, perhaps its the only one they know about.
