"Standard Reference Materials for Clinical Measurements."

W. Wayne Meinke

W. Wayne Meinke has been named winner of the ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry. This award is sponsored by Fisher Scientific Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. Dr. Meinke is Chief of the Analytical Chemistry Division in the Institute for Materials Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D . C , where he leads a program encompassing work in some 60 different areas of materials characterization with particular emphasis on trace analysis. Dr. Meinke received his A B degree in chemistry at Oberlin College in 1947 and his P h D in nuclear chemistry under Professor Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California a t Berkeley in 1950. After serving on the faculty of the Department of Chemistry a t the University of Michigan from 1950 to 1963, he joined the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Meinke is honored for his independence of thought and originality in reevaluating and broadening the already strong program of N B S in analytical chemistry and the unique NBS standards program to include new competence areas in analytical chemistry and new standard reference materials. His analytical research activities have greatly benefited scientific and tech-

TRY has benefited greatly from the expertise of D r . Meinke as he has served on our Advisory Board and contributed both as a reviewer and author. His most recent contribution was the M a y

nological development in the U.S. and abroad. He has authored singly or in collaboration over 150 scientific papers and has edited, with B . F . Scribner, a book on "Trace Characterization— Chemical and Physical." D r . Meinke is a Regional Advisory Editor of the Analyst. H e is active in the affairs of the American Chemical Society and the International Union of Pure and A p plied Chemistry. Dr. Meinke has been honored b y the American Nuclear Society through its 1968 Special Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Nuclear Science and, that same year, received the first George Hevesy Medal for R a dioanalytical Chemistry. He was also honored with the 1968 Edward Bennett Rosa Award of the National Bureau of Standards for outstanding leadership of the Standard Reference Materials Program. D r . Meinke was General Chairman of this year's ACS Analytical Chemistry Division Summer Symposium which was held in June at the National Bureau of Standards. An exceptionally effective program, the symposium was centered on the contributions that analyti-

Edward B. Baker has been named to receive the 1972 ACS Award in Chemical Instrumentation sponsored b y Sargent-Welch Scientific Co. D r . Baker is a research scientist a t Dow Chemical Co. and is a member of Dow's General Research Committee. He is honored for his outstanding contributions to the development of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance instrumentation as it is known today. D r . Baker's foremost contribution was attaining field/ frequency stabilization of 1 part in 10 8 using a nuclear signal. With this stabilization, he introduced the use of precalibrated spectra and frequency sweep

News mode of operation. H e has continued development of n m r spectrometers of the highest standards a n d recently designed a new instrument which uses a superconducting solenoid magnet. This spectrometer was described a t t h e 11th and 12th Experimental N M R Conferences in 1970 a n d 1971. D r . Baker graduated from t h e University of Michigan in 1926 with a BS in chemistry; h e earned an M S in mathematics in 1927 and a P h D in physics in 1930 from the same institution. After employment a t the University of Illinois and Detroit Edison, he joined Dow Chemical Co. in 1942 as a physicist and was promoted to group leader in 1950 and associate scientist in 1955. I n 1960, he attained his present position. J. Jack Kirkland will receive t h e 1972 American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography. This Award is sponsored by Supelco, I n c . D r . Kirkland's Award is based on his work in analytical liquid chromatography during the past six years and, more specifically, on his recent research and on development of a series of controlled surface porosity column packings. These packings have already contributed much to the current development of high-speed liquid chromatography as a practical analytical tool. His most recent research on controlled surface porosity supports with chemically bonded organic stationary phases offers great promise in eliminating certain of t h e problems still associated with high-speed liquid chromatography. A brief biographical sketch of D r . Kirkland appears on page 46 A of this issue.

ANALYTICAL C H E M I S T R Y invited

Dr. Kirkland to write a Report for Analytical Chemists on some phase of liquid chromatography in November 1970. I t is a happy coincidence t h a t his Report, page 36 A, which deals with columns, appears in this issue along with the announcement of his award.

Computer Applications The Institute of Petroleum's Hydro­ carbon Research Group is organizing a conference and instrument exhibition at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, En­ gland, from November 15 to 17, 1971. The conference will deal with the uses of computer techniques in chemical re­ search. It will encompass the use of computers in mass spectrometry and gas chromatography and in chemical experiments and pilot plant operations which can be run by computer control. The program will consist of reviews and research papers on data acquisi­ tion, Fourier transform spectroscopy, computer control of experiments, infor­ mation systems for chemists, the inter­ pretation of data, and laboratory con­ trol and reporting systems, as well as related topics. Further information on this meeting is available from C. H. Maynard, Administrative Secretary, In­ stitute of Petroleum, 61 New Cavendish St., London, W1M 8AR.

Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies The organizing committee of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) at its meeting, June 24 to 25, 1971, in Indi­ anapolis completed preliminary ar­ rangements for the first three national conferences on analytical chemistry and spectroscopy. The first meeting will be held in Atlantic City, N.J., November 18 to 22, 1974. In'l975, the meeting will be held in Indianapolis, Ind., Octo­ ber 6 to 10, and 1976 at Philadelphia, Pa., November 15 to 19. FACSS is a group of analytical chem­ istry and spectroscopy societies who have sponsored professional meetings and equipment exhibitions for a num­ ber of years and who have banded to­ gether to advance these professions and eliminate the proliferation of meet­ ings. Initial sponsors of the Federation are: Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) Division of Analytical Chemistry, Amer­ ican Chemical Society Eastern Analytical Symposium Association of Analytical Chemists (ANACHEM) Mid-America Conference American Microchemical Society Surplus funds accruing from the meetings will be used for fellowships and grants to graduate students and faculty members, as well as assistance to regional meetings with the same ob­ jectives. A proposed set of bylaws was agreed on by the organizing committee and is in the process of ratification by the sponsoring groups.
