Note: There is a timeline issue with the notion that Latimer would have been Rodebush's mentor: Latimer got his degree in 1919, i.e. 2 years /after/ Rodebush got his. The NAS biography actually states that Latimer was Rodebush' student, see http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/memoir-pdfs/rodebush-worth.pdf
The http://chemistry.illinois.edu/about/illini_chemists/Worth_Rodebush.html article is somewhat ambiguous: "Rodebush received his Ph.D. in 1917 while working with Wendell Latimer at the University of California, Berkeley", which could be interpreted as if they were collaborating as colleagues rather than in an advisor/student relationship.
