Analytical Chemistry Summer Fellowship Program HE DIVISION of Analytical Chemis­ T try of the American Chemical So­

ciety announces its Summer Fellowship Program for 1968. These fellowships awarded by the Division and spon­ sored with the aid of several industrial organizations and scientific groups, sup­ port summer research for students in analytical chemistry. They carry a stipend of $800 plus tuition and fees. In 1967, six such fellowships were awarded ; the successful nominees were : Peter W. Carr, Pennsylvania State Uni­ versity; James B. Worthington, Purdue University; Frank N . Abercrombie, Southern Illinois University; Larry R. Sherman, The University of Wyoming; Joseph H. Carney. University of Illi­ nois; Brian W. Maxey, Michigan State University. The number of fellowships to be awarded in 1968 will depend upon the number and strength of applications received and upon the extent of finan­ cial support received from divisional members and other organizations for this purpose. Summer Fellowships were awarded in 1967 in the names of the Perkin-Elmer Corporation, Con­ solidated Electrodynamics Corp./Bell and Howell, the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, the Eastern

Analytical Symposium, and the Division of Analytical Chemistry. For eligibility, students must have completed at least one academic year of graduate study, and must be en­ gaged in research on a subject appropri­ ate

for

publication

in

ANALYTICAL

CHEMISTRY. Also only those students who are not terminal graduate students will be considered—i.e., the graduate student must return for at least one quarter or semester of further graduate study following the summer of his fel­ lowship. Although the research would normally be a continuation of that al­ ready in progress, the student might desire to participate in a special sum­ mer research project elsewhere, for ex­ ample, in a government laboratory. Nominations should be made by the student's research supervisor, and should be accompanied by a completed application blank (to be filled in by the student), transcripts of the student's undergraduate and graduate records, and a statement of 250 words or less describing the research program pro­ posed for the summer of the fellow­ ship. The student shall request one more supporting letter of recommenda­ tion besides that of his research super­ visor (the original nomination of the

research supervisor shall constitute his recommendation.) Application blanks are available from, and all material concerning the nomination should be submitted t o : Dr. James C. White, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830. Deadline for receipt of all information is February 1. A special award committee will an­ nounce the recipients of the fellowship on March 15, 1968. Members of the Analytical Division are being urged to make voluntary contributions to a special fund in sup­ port of this program. I n addition, the Division invites the cooperation of in­ dustrial and other sponsors to support an entire fellowship (which will be named for or by the sponsor at his re­ quest). Details on sponsorship may be obtained by writing to Dr. White. The Summer Fellowship Program is intended to foster the development of the next generation of analytical chem­ ists and 'to attract to the ranks of analytical chemistry the finest young minds in our universities. The magni­ tude of the program and the extent of its success will be determined by the degree to which it is assisted financially and by the number of outstanding can­ didates who are encouraged to apply.

Postdoctoral Research Associateships The National Bureau of Standards, in cooperation with the National Research Council and the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering, is offering a number of awards for postdoctoral research in the field of analytical chem­ istry. This program has provided 173 young scientists of unusual ability and promisé with an opportunity for fundamental research in various branches of the physical, engineering, and mathematical sciences since its inception in 1954. Currently 26 postdoctoral associates are in residence at the Bureau's New Gaithersburg, Maryland, laboratories. Candidates for appointment who are U. S. citizens are invited to submit applications and proposals in any of the areas in which the NBS maintains

competence. I n e analytical cnemistry division covers a broad spectrum of both classical and modern methods of chemical measurement. Outstanding areas of work include coulometry, p H and electrolyte solutions, determination of absolute isotopic ratios, activation analysis, tracer techniques, atomic absorption and optical emission techniques, electron probe microanalysis, ion exchange, and methods for the preparation and handling of ultra-pure reagents. Applications for these awards must bo filed before February 15, 1968. Inquiries for further information should be addressed to Dr. W. W. Meinke, Analytical Chemistry Division, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C. 20234.

LSU Symposium

with the NEW Bausch & Lomb Concentration Computer Gone are the days of involved calculations, checking tables or figuring formulas. Today, if you want to know the concentration of a solution . ;. . read it! Just attach the new Bausch & Lomb Concentration Computer to your spectrophotometer. Most B&L Spectrophotometers attach di­ rectly, several other makes are easily adapted. N o w the whole job boils down to three quick steps: 1. Set zero. 2. Calibrate to a known standard. 3. Read the unknown concentration directly. Simple . . . F a s t . . . Accurate! T h e price is just $750 . . . making this the first and only low cost unit that automatically reads concentration directly for any solution obeying Beers law. We'll gladly send you a descriptive brochure (33-2215) or why not let us show you? Write Bausch & Lomb, 8 1 0 4 8 Bausch Street, Rochester, N e w York 14602. P.S.

Gas Chromatography— Mass Spectrometry Abstracts The Science & I echnology Agency, 3, Dyers Bldg., Holborn, London, E.C.I, England, lias announced the provision of an abstract service for those interested in combined gas chromatographymass spectrometry. Abstract cards pertaining to literature and patents in this held will include sufficient detail to indicate to the general reader the nature and value of the contribution and to enable the specialist to assess its importance in relation to his own work. The first year the abstracts will include current papers and papers published from 1957. Abstracts should appear within one month of publication of papers. Yearly subscription rates are £55 or $166 payable in advance. The subscription includes annual subject and author indexes.

Industry Items B-D Laboratories, Inc., subsidiary of Becton, Dickinson and Company, P. O. Box 243, Cockeysville, Md. 21030, has changed its name to BioQuest. Included under this designation are Balimore Biological Laboratory and Falcon Plastics.
