Abstract
It was just half a century ago June 14th 1961 that I joined Corwin Hansch at Pomona College as a postdoctoral fellow My first impression of him was that he was intelligent and considerate This was correct and our nice and friendly relationship had continued until his passing away Except for the first several months in 1961 I was the only member of his group until September 1963 Through the facetoface communication I learned a lot from him explicitly as well as tacitly It is really sad especially when I realize that I cannot share with him academic interests as well as memories in good old postdoctoral days any more Here I would like to commemorate him by recalling what he had done before 1961 and “how and why” his previous research was evolved into the socalled QSAR I would like to dedicate this article to Corwin anticipating his favorable but neverrealized response and to pray most sincerely for his repose
