ACS NEWS Three New Awards

Awards administered by ACS increased to 1 9

X HE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY has accepted administrative responsi­bility for the AIVIERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry spon­sored by the Synthetic Organic Chemi­cal Manufacturers Association and the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Award in Industrial and Engineering Chemis­try sponsored by the Ksso Research and Engineering Co. These two recogni­tions and establishment of the AMERI­CAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Local Section Public Relations Award increase the number of awards administered by the ACS to 19.

The ACS Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry spon­sored by the Synthetic Organic Chemi­cal Manufacturers Association will rec­ognize outstanding creative work in synthetic organic chemistry that has been published in an American journal during the preceding three years end­ing Jan. 1 of the year in which the award is presented. The award con­sists of $1000 and a certificate. A contingent allowance of $150 may be provided for traveling expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented. The award will be pre­sented for the first time in 1957.

Also to be presented initially in 1957, the ACS Award in Industrial and Engi­neering Chemistry sponsored by the Esso Research and Engineering Co. was established to stimulate funda­mental research in industrial and engi­neering chemistry and in the develop­ment and application of chemical engi­neering principles to industrial proc­esses. The award consists of $1000 and a gold medal. An allowance of not more than $150 is provided for travel­ing expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented.

To recognize outstanding public re­lations activities by local sections of the ACS, the Board of Directors has established the ACS Local Section Pub-He Relations Award. Appropriate certificates will be awarded separately in size groupings as follows: small (less than 200 members) ,- medium (200 to 499 members) , middle (500 to 999 members) , and large sections (over 1000 members) with discretion to make no award or more than one

award as may be merited. T h e activi­ties to be recognized will b e evalu­ated on the basis of local section, an­nual reports. Recipients of t h e awards for 1954 activities were announced a t the Minneapolis meeting in September (see C&EN, Sept. 26, page4027) .

Further details of these awards, par­ticulars of the James T. Grady Avyard for outstanding chemical reporting: also established in 1955 (see C&EN, June 6, page 2412), and complete informa­tion about other awards administered by the Society are given in ACS Bulle­tin 7, "Awards Administered by the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY"; the 1956 edition will be available shortly.
