For purposes of international communication and trade, the official names of the chemical elements both ancient and more recently recognized are decided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC ), which has decided on a sort of international English language, drawing on traditional English names even when an element's chemical symbol is based on a Latin or other traditional word, for example adopting " gold " rather than " aurum " as the name for the 79th element ( Au ).

Dartmouth has also graduated three Nobel Prize winners: Owen Chamberlain ( Physics, 1959 ), K. Barry Sharpless ( Chemistry, 2001 ), and George Davis Snell ( Physiology or Medicine, 1980 ).
