Dr. Robert E. Kohrman, dean emeritus of the College of Science and Technology at Central Michigan University and professor emeritus of organic chemistry, is a strong supporter of the Clarke Historical Library.

Dr. Kohrman also endowed the collection to fund its continued growth.

Is the book you need for your research paper checked out? Are you hitting a paywall for that journal article you need to access?
