Tswett Medals Awarded to Knox, Macek, and Poole The M. S. Tswett Chromatography Medals for 1985 were awarded to John Knox, Karel Macek, and Colin Poole at the 21st International Symposium on Advances in Chromatography, which took place June 3-6 in Oslo, Norway. These scientists were recognized for their contributions to the development of chromatography. John Knox graduated in 1949 from the University of Edinburgh, receiving his BSc, and in 1953 from Cambridge University with a PhD in chemistry. In 1963 Edinburgh University granted him a DSc degree. He is currently personal professor of physical chemistry and director of the Wolfson Liquid Chromatography Unit at the University of Edinburgh. Knox has been a pioneer in both gas and modern liquid chromatography. In gas chromatography, he first applied the technique to the study of combustion reactions and gas kinetics. In high-performance liquid chromatography, particularly noteworthy are his fundamental theoretical studies and his dimensionless approach to the interpretation of plate height and mobile phase viscosity leading to the "Knox equation," his development of improved column packing, and his use of ion-pairing agents. Karel Macek studied at Charles University in Prague, receiving his PhD in 1951. Since 1977 he has been a senior scientist at the Institute of Physiology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague. Macek is one of the pioneers in paper chromatography. He became involved with this technique in 1947 and published a number of fundamental papers in this area. His main interests were in the mechanism of chromatographic separation and in the relationship between chemical structure and chromatographic behavior. He applied this technique to the systematic analysis of drugs. In the past decade he has become interested in the chromatographic analysis of complex mixtures of biological importance and their delicate changes in pathological situations and ontogeny. Colin Poole graduated in 1971 from the University of Leeds with a BSc and in 1972 received an MSc in chemistry from the University of Bristol. He received his PhD from the University of Keele in 1975. Since 1984 he has been an associate professor at Wayne State University. Poole became active in chromatography in graduate school and has continued his

involvement since that time. He has carried out significant developmental work in a number of fields, particularly in selective detectors and derivative formation and the development of thermally stable polar stationary phases in gas chromatography and in high-performance thin-layer chromatography. Poole is the author or coauthor of more than 100 publications, including a recent book entitled "Contemporary Practice of Chromatography," a general textbook on the theory of chromatography and the practice of its variants.
Nominations Sought for Lippincott Medal Nominations are now being solicited for the 1986 Ellis R. Lippincott Medal. The medal, awarded annually in recognition of significant contributions and notable achievements in the field of vibrational spectroscopy, is jointly sponsored by the Coblentz Society, the Optical Society of America, and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. A nominee must have made significant contributions to vibrational spectroscopy as judged by their influence on other scientists. The contributions can be theoretical, experimental, or both and may have been made in the course of applied as well as basic research. Innovativeness of the contributions will be carefully appraised. No restriction is placed on the citizenship or national origin of candidates. The award will not be made posthumously unless an awardee dies after the selection procedure has been completed. Nominations should be submitted by Oct. 1,1985, to W. G. Golden, IBM Research Laboratory, K07/282, 5600 Cottle Rd., San Jose, Calif. 95193.
Call for Papers 37th Pittsburgh Conference and Exhibition Atlantic City, N.J. March 10-14, 1986. Papers are being solicited in all areas of analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy. For instructions on preparing abstracts, contact Alma Johnson, Program Secretary, Pittsburgh Conference, 12 Federal Dr., Suite 322, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15235. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is Aug. 2, 1985. Abstracts received after this date cannot be guaranteed consideration for inclusion in the 1986 technical program.
