AIC Gold Medal Won By Alden H. Emery
James L. F. Bell named associate manager of new projects for Mobil Chemical Co.'s domestic department.
Dr. Alden H. Emery, ACS Executive Secretary, will receive the 1961 Gold Medal of the American Institute of Chemists at the institute's annual meeting in Washington in May. The medal is awarded each year for noteworthy service "to die science of chemistry or the profession of chemist in America." Dr. Emery is being honored for administering his office for the Society in a manner described by the citation as "outstanding for intelligence, tact, vision, and responsiveness to the desires of its members." A former official of the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Dr. Emery joined the ACS staff as assistant secretary in 1936. He succeeded the late Dr. Charles L. Parsons as Secretary and Business Manager in 1946, and was made Executive Secretary the following year. Under his guidance, the Society has more than doubled its membership, from 43,000 on Jan. 1, 1946, to 92,000 today, and has greatly expanded its services. Dr. Emery was born at Lancaster, N.H., and received the A.B. degree magna cum laude from Oberlin College in 1922 and the A.M. from Ohio State University in 1923. Dickinson College conferred the honorary D.Sc. on him in 1957.
