James Streator taught at Manchester for 32 years and retired in 2000. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin and has a Ph.D. from Purdue. He taught high school chemistry for 5 years in Madison, WI. He was responsible primarily for Analytical and Physical chemistry courses. His general interests are in the areas of analytical chemistry and in computer applications. For many years, he taught a forensic science course during our January term. Students were introduced to tools of forensic science and visit forensic labs. Soon after his retirement, he served as a liaison and shepherd for the construction of the new science building.

Edward Miller taught chemistry at Manchester for 38 years and retired in 1998. His undergraduate degree was from Manchester University and he has a Ph.D. from Cornell University. During sabbatical leaves, he was a visiting professor at Silliman University in the Philippines and was director of the Brethren Colleges Abroad (BCA) program in Sapporo, Japan. In 1981, Dr. Miller took a group of students and medical personnel to Guatemala during our January session. This trip developed into a very successful course called the Medical Practicum.

Wilson Lutz taught at Manchester from 1962 to 1992. His undergraduate degree was from Manchester University and his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. Prior to teaching at Manchester, Dr. Lutz was a senior scientist at Warner-Lambert Research Institute. His interest in biochemistry carried over into his teaching and research at Manchester. He organized and taught a biochemistry course and supervised many biochemistry projects for chemistry majors. Wilson also was interested in physical geology and taught a course in this subject for many years. Since his retirement, he and his wife Mary have led tours for the Manchester Alumni Association.
