Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted the isotope ¹²C as the basis
for atomic weights. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon & its compounds.

Stanford Bronze Plaque 12
is on the ground 15 yards to the right of
Stanford University's Memorial Church.
It is dedicated to the Class of 1912.

the Arcade pathway two yards from the plaque.
The first graduating class at Stanford was 1892.
In 1980, Stanford Provost Don Kennedy strolled
around the Inner Quad and calculated that it
would take 512 years for the bronze class plaques
embedded in the walkways to circle the entire
area ending with the Class of 2403.
