William Albert Noyes (1857-1941) was an American analytical and organic chemist born near Independence, Iowa, known for pioneering work on atomic weight determinations and for establishing the structure of camphor. As chief chemist at the National Bureau of Standards from 1903, he measured the hydrogen-to-oxygen mass ratio with unusual precision, and from 1907 to 1926 he chaired the chemistry department at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, helping build it into a leading American program. Noyes shaped the discipline's publishing as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Chemical Society from 1902 to 1917, founding editor of Chemical Abstracts, and founding editor of both Chemical Reviews and the American Chemical Society Monograph series. He received the Priestley Medal in 1935 and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1910.
