J I r , Hilty, assistant head of the analytical departinent, Eli Lilly and Co.. liteially started his professional training a t birth, for much of his childhood \vas spent in his fnthei’s drugstore in Pandora, Ohio. He receiwd his collegiate training in pharmacy a t Ohio State University, graduating with a B.S. degree in 1936. JIr. Hilty has been a very active and enthusiastic worker in the d,\ri,nrc4x CHI;MICAL SOCII:TY vineyard. He has held all the major offices of the Indiana Section; hiis played a prominent role in Council affairs for several years, including membership on such iinportaiit committees as the Local Section Councilor Representation Committee, Professional Relations and Status Committee, Constitution and Bylaws Committee. At present, 3Ir. Hilty is a member of the po\rerful Council Policy Committee. .ANALPTICAL CHIXI~TRY has publislicd many papers by Hilty, most of thein coauthored with Eli Lilly associates. He authored the first review article in ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY on “Pharmaceuticals and Satural Drugs” (1949). Since 1950, the review has been coauthored with &I.31.JIarch. James J. Liiigane received his B.S.and P1i.D. a t the University of JIinnesota and, of couise, \vas closely associated with I. 11.Kolthoff. He was an instructor in physical chemistry a t Minnesota for two years (1938-39), and then joined the University of California, a t Berkeley, as an instructor in analytical chemistry. He mas called to Harvard in 1941. His present rank is that of professor of chemistry. Dr. Lingane is the author of nearly 90 papers in the general field of analytical chemistry and electrochemistry, with special emphasis on polarographic analysis and analytical methods based on controlled potential electrolysis. He is coauthor with Kolthoff of “Polarography,” the second edition of which has just been released by the publisher. Dr. Lingane is an associate editor of JAG‘S. The third new member to be appointed is Vernon A. Stenger, aiid again the Kolthoff influence is noted. Dr. Stenger did his undergraduate work a t the University of Denver, graduating in 1929, the year in which the k V A L Y T I C A L EDITIOSof INDUSTRIAL .4ND ESGINEERIKG C H E h i I s r R Y was established.

Early in 1935, Dr. Stenger joined the Dow Chemical Co. staff a t Midland, Mich., as an analytical research chemist. His special interwts include volumetric and trace analysis of rare elements and bromine compounds, and the analysis of magnesium alloys. The retiring members of the board are: H. A. Laitinen, University of Illinois, C. J. Rodden, U. S.Stoinic Energy Commission, and J. W.Stillnian of E. I. du Pont de Nemours 8: Co., Inc., \Tilinington, Del. The editorial staff extends to these men heartfelt thanks for the many and varied services performed for the journal and the profession of analytical chemistry. Tlic year 1952 marks the 10th aniii\-ersaiy of an active advisory board. I t is most appropriate a t this time to remind our readers that the men who have sen-ed have contributed substantially t o the improvement and gron-tli of the journal during the past decade. The anniversary was celebrated at a special meeting held in the Washington headquarters on Sovernber 5 , a t which time the members yere given the opportunity of sceing a t firsthand the editorial opcrations of three of the Society’>publications. The editors extend an invitation to readers \ isiting Washington a cordial in\-itation to visit with us and t o see. as did the members of the advisory board, how k . 4 L Y T I C . 4 L CHEWBTRY becomes a 1e:rlity 12 times a year.
