Biography/History
Kenneth N. Trueblood, a pioneering crystallographer known also for his exceptional teaching, was born on April 24, 1920 in
Dobbs Ferry, New York. He received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1941 and his Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology
for research in chromatography and spectrophotometry in 1947. However, inspired by the ground-breaking work of his professor
Linus Pauling, Trueblood went on to work in crystallography. After two years of post-doctoral work at Caltech, he became an
instructor in the Department of Chemistry at UCLA in 1949 and was made an assistant professor in 1950. He became a full professor
in 1960 and was awarded the newly created UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award in 1961. This same year, he also became President
of the American Crystallographic Association, which he co-founded. He served as Chair of the Department of Chemistry at UCLA
from 1965-1970 and became Dean of the UCLA College of Letters and Science in 1971. Teaching throughout his time as Chair and
Dean, he stepped down from his position as Dean in 1974 in order to return to teaching full-time. However, he returned to
administrative service as Chair of the Academic Senate from 1983-1984 and chaired the Department of Chemistry once again from
1990-1991.
Trueblood's research contributed to the Nobel prize-winning research of Dorothy Hodgkin and Donald J. Cram. After receiving
a Fulbright research award, Trueblood worked with Hodgkin from 1956-1957 at Oxford on the chemical structure of vitamin B-12.
Hodgkin was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 for discovering the structure of vitamin B-12. Trueblood recommended
Cram for consideration for the Nobel Prize, which he received in 1987.
A popular and respected teacher, Trueblood was known for his warmth, dedication, personability and for learning all of his
students' names in classes that often contained over 350 students. Trueblood continued his research through the end of his
life, and his last paper, with Verner Schomaker, was published posthumously in Acta Cryst. Kenneth N. Trueblood died in Los
Angeles on May 7, 1998.
Scope and Content
The Kenneth N. Trueblood papers include materials that document his research, including computer programs, notes and programs
related to the discovery of the structure of vitamin B-12, lab notebooks, and grant applications; correspondence; UCLA Department
of Chemistry files; lecture notes, including those from his studies under Linus Pauling; speeches Trueblood gave in academic
and professional settings; annotated publications; professional organization materials related to Acta Crystallographica,
where he served in an editorial capacity, and the American Crystallographic Association, which he co-founded; and photos,
awards, and memorials.
