Camill e &\; Henry Dreyfus Lectureship
In memory of the Dreyfus brothers\, the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Inc. has established the Camille &\; Henry Dreyfus Lectureship at the University of Basel. The annual Lectureship brings a leading chemist from the Uni ted States to the Basel campus to deliver a series of talks\, and to meet with faculty and students in order to enhance the relationship between Swi ss and U.S. science.
