Brother Lloyd Augustus Hall
Lloyd Augustus Hall was born on 20 June 1894, in Elgin, Illinois. He attended college at Northwestern University and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Hall’s most notable achievements came while he was a consultant to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. He was responsible for many of the meat curing products, seasonings, emulsions, bakery products, antioxidants, protein hydrolysates, and other substances that keep food fresh and flavorful. Brother Hall developed a successful combination of complex chemical salt that has proved to be the most satisfactory curing salt marketed in this country. He developed new processes for the sterilization of spices, cereals, other food materials, and pharmaceuticals, which are widely used today. While at Northwestern, Brother Hall was initiated into Theta chapter on 15 Mar 1913 and he became one of the founding members of the Xi Lambda Chapter on 15 May 1924.
