| Summary: | Chemist and professor William C. Davis was born on August 22, 1926, in Waycross, Georgia, to parents Kenice and Laura Jane Davis and as the brother of the actor Ossie Davis. In 1941, Davis moved to New York City and graduated from Dwight High School in 1945. Davis enrolled at Talladega College in Florida, where he graduated with his B.S. degree in chemistry in 1956. Davis went on to earn his M.S. degree in organic chemistry from Tuskegee Institute in 1958, and his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from the University of Idaho in 1965. Davis was named full professor of chemistry at St. Philip's College in 1995. He also served as chair of the Natural Sciences Department, director of Renewable Energy and developed a STEM-centered minority outreach program. When Davis retired in August 2009, he was named professor emeritus of the natural science department. The science building at St. Philip's College is named in his honor.
