AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Division of Analytical Chemistry has undertaken a program of summer fellowships that is potentially of far-reaching significance [see AXALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 38, No. 1,page 61A, 19661. One or more nationally competitive fellowships of $800.00 plus tuition and fees are to be awarded for summer research in an area appropriate for publication in ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. They will be open to graduate students who have finished a t least one year of graduate work and who are not terminating their study a t the end of the summer. Although the research would normally be a continuation of Ph.D. thesis research already under way, there is also the possibility that a special summer research project might be undertaken, for example, a t one of the government research laboratories. Nominations are to be made by the research advisor who will receive an application blank to be submitted by the nominee by March 1, 1966. Fellows are to be chosen by a committee to be appointed by the Chairman of the Analytical Division. A significant feature of this program is that the procedure can be used to award as many fellowships as can be financed in any particular year. It could readily be extended to the support of one or more full year fellowships, in effect to replace the old Merck Fellowship which for nine years represented a nationwide recognition of outstanding graduate work in analytical chemistry. Analytical Division members are being invited to make voluntary contributions in addition to their regular divisional dues earmarked for the support of this program. I n addition, any sponsor who wishes to underwrite the cost of an entire fellowship may stipulate that a special name be attached to that fellowship. It is to be hoped that industrial sponsors will avail themselves of this opportunity to support research in analytical chemistry. Local analytical organizations may wish to consider this worthy activity. The ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry is to be commended for embarking on this significant program. It remains for individual division members and for analytical chemists generally to give it their generous support. It is to be hoped that divisional membership will be stimulated and that the science of analytical chemistry generally will benefit from working for a worthy common cause.
