Three $1000 Electrochemical Society Summer Fellowships to be Awarded The Electrochemical Society will offer three fellowships for qualified graduate students for the summer of 1971. Each fellowship will have a stipend of $1000 and its purpose is to assist a student to
continue his graduate work during the summer months in a field of interest to the Electrochemical Society. These fel lowships are to be known as The Ed ward Weston Fellowship, The Colin Garfield Fink Fellowship, and the ECS Summer Fellowship Award. The award shall be made without re gard to sex, citizenship, race, or finan cial need. It shall be made to a grad uate student pursuing work between the degree of B.S. and Ph.D. in a college or university in the United States or Can ada, and who has received a 9-month grant preceding the summer period. A previous holder of the award is eligible for reappointment. Qualified graduate students are invited to apply for these fellowships. Applicants should com plete an application form and supply a brief statement of educational objec tives; a brief statement of the thesis research problem, including objectives, work already accomplished, and work planned for the summer of 1971 ; a transcript of undergraduate and grad uate academic work; and two letters of recommendation, one of which should be from his research adviser. Application forms are available from the Chairman of the Fellowship Awards Subcommittee, to whom completed ap plications and letters of recommenda tion should be sent: Prof. David M. Mohilner, Dept. of Chemistry, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo. 80521. Deadline for receipt of com pleted applications is Mar. 2, 1971; award winners will be announced on May 1.
Sixth National Conference on Electron Probe Analysis The Sixth National Conference on Electron Probe Analysis will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pa,, July 28 to 30, 1971. Papers are invited for presentation at the meeting; contribu tors need not be members of the spon soring organization, Electron Probe Analysis Society of America. Papers on theory and applications in all areas of electron probe and scanning electron microscopy will be considered. Areas considered within the scope of the con ference include: quantitative analysis of metallurgical, geological, ceramic, and biological materials; scanning elec tron microscopy; energy dispersive Xrny analysis; electron penetration; dy namic studies of specimen and environ mental control techniques for biological and other unstable specimens ; cathodoluminescence ; micron-scale electron beam machining and welding: electron beam techniques for data and image storage and retrieval; automation:
