Dr. W a l d o E . Cohn, Oak Ridge N a tional Laboratory, won the ACS Award in C h r o m a tography and Electrophoresis, sponsored b y L a b line I n s t r u m e n t s , Inc. D r . Cohn was born in San Francisco, Cali fornia, and re ceived his B.S. from t h e Univer sity of California a t Berkeley in 1931, M . S . in 1932, and his P h . D . in Biochem istry in 1938. After teaching at Berke ley and H a r v a r d from 1937 to 1942, D r . Cohn joined t h e M a n h a t t a n Project, first a t Chicago, and later a t the Clinton Labs at Oak Ridge. T h e r e D r . Cohn worked with development of radioiso tope production a n d distribution meth ods which culminated in the general distribution of radioisotopes produced in the Oak Ridge reactor. H e also in vestigated the ion exchange chromatog r a p h y of fission products, which r e sulted in the first separation of the rare earths b y this method, leading t o the first isolation of element 61. Since 1948 D r . Cohn, as a Senior Biochemist with O R N L , has concentrated on in vestigations of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and enzymology. D r . Cohn pioneered in ion exchange c h r o m a t o graphic methods for biochemistry. H e is a u t h o r or coauthor of more t h a n 60 publications. D r . Cohn is a member of the E d i torial Board of the Journal of Biologi cal Chemistry, a n d a member of the American Society of Biological C h e m ist, Biochemical Society (London), ACS, and American Association for t h e Advancement of Science. · Dr. H o w a r d V .
