Introduction
TOP
 The
Department of Chemistry is one of the oldest thriving Departments of the
University. It is housed in two Blocks: the Old Block was erected in
1896 and the New Postgraduate Chemistry Block was constructed in the
1990s. The New Postgraduate Block has seven well-equipped laboratories
with modern apparatus. A galaxy of distinguished scientists has chaired
the Department of Chemistry here at GCU Prof. Dunnicliff, a prescient
scholar and educationist, joined the Department as Chairperson in 1917
while simultaneously chairing the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at
the University of the Punjab. After the Professors promotion to
Principal, Government College Lahore, Bhai Man Singh replaced him at the
Department,
