Presently, it is easy to make the argument that chemistry is a valuable field of study. The topics of the chemistry Nobel Prize award winners over the past 117 years reveal the integral role that chemistry plays in the world we live in. However, this was not always the case. Despite the role chemistry played in everyday life, at the start of the 1800s chemistry was considered to be an obscure and unimportant branch of natural philosophy. As an academic subject it was considered low status, administration of the course was unorganized, and the course content was not rigorous. The common aim, outlined by textbooks from the era, was "to furnish that information which will prove most useful and practical in their future employment and relations to life". The development of the Regents exams in New York at the end of the nineteenth century marked a pivotal point of change in the standardization, status, and quality of chemistry teaching in New York.
