Henry Eyring(February 20, 1901 – December 26, 1981) was aMexico-bornUnited Statestheoreticalchemistwhose primary contribution was in the study ofchemical reaction ratesand intermediates. Eyring, a third-generation member ofThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints(LDS Church), was reared on a cattle ranch inColonia Juárez, Chihuahua, aMormon colony, for the first 11 years of his life. His father practiced plural marriage; he was married to two daughters of Miles Park Romney, the great-grandfather ofMitt Romney. Eyring's father treated both wives with equal respect and care and made sure to provide the children with a healthy family environment.[1]In July 1912, the Eyrings and about 4,200 other immigrants were driven out of Mexico by violent insurgents during theMexican Revolutionand moved toEl Paso, Texas. After living in El Paso for approximately one year, the Eyrings relocated toPima, Arizona, where he completedhigh schooland showed a special aptitude formathematicsandscience. He also studied at Gila Academy inThatcher, Arizona, nowEastern Arizona College. One of the pillars at the front of the main building still bears his name, along with that of his brother-in-law,Spencer W. Kimball, laterpresidentof the LDS Church. By 1919, Eyring had received a state fellowship to theUniversity of Arizona, where he received degrees inmining engineering,metallurgy, andchemistry. He subsequently pursued and received his doctoral degree in Chemistry from theUniversity of California, Berkeleyin 1927 for a thesis entitled:A Comparison of the Ionization by, and Stopping Power for, Alpha Particles of Elements and Compounds.After a review of his dissertation,Princeton Universityrecruited Eyring as an instructor in 1931. He would continue his work at Princeton until 1946[2]when he was offered a position asdeanof the graduate school at theUniversity of Utah. The chemistry building on the University of Utah campus is now named in his honor. A prolific writer, he authored more than 600 scientific articles, ten scientific books, and a few books on the subject of science and religion. He received theWolf Prize in Chemistryin 1980 and theNational Medal of Sciencein 1966 for developing the Absolute Rate Theory orTransition state theoryof chemical reactions, one of the most important developments of 20th-century chemistry. Several other chemists later received theNobel Prizefor work based on it, and his failure to receive the Nobel was a matter of surprise to many. The Nobel Prize organization admitted that "Strangely, Eyring never received a Nobel Prize"; theRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencesapparently did not understand Eyring's theory until it was too late to award him the Nobel. The academy awarded him the Berzelius Medal in 1977 as partial compensation[ ]Sterling M. McMurrinbelieved Eyring should have received the Nobel Prize but was not awarded it because of his religion.Eyring was elected president of theAmerican Chemical Societyin 1963 and theAssociation for the Advancement of Sciencein 1965.
