Can non-oxidized "Poly-Em" do as much for your product as it has for floor polishes? I t ' s i m p r e s s i v e — t h e way floors shrug off p u n i s h m e n t a n d s h i n e longer under heavy traffic when they are protected with polishes that contain Spencer "Poly-Em"* non-oxidized polyethylene emulsions. Polish makers have d i s c o v e r e d that "Poly-Em" not only gives their polish more comeback power, but also s a v e s t h e m m o n e y and simplifies production. But "Poly-Em" isn't just for polish. If you now use an oxidized emulsion, switching to "Poly-Em" offers you some definite physical advancements: 1. All "Poly-Em" emulsions have unusually high molecular weight (16,000-18,000) and small, uniform particle size. This makes "Poly-Em" remarkably tough. 2. N e w "Poly-Erh" 13 offers the
highest solids content (55%) available anywhere. Inventory is reduced because each drum will produce more product or go further in your production. This can save you valuable storage space. 3. New "Poly-Em" 21 offers an unusually wide range of p H stability. It is compatible with an exceptional number of chemicals and solutions. This makes "Poly-Em" 21 very versatile; gives you greater freedom to formulate. If you prefer a nonionic system, the same properties are available in "Poly-Em" 41. 4. All " P o l y - E m " emulsions are non-oxidized and ready to use.' You can eliminate the emulsification step and put that equipment to good use on other jobs. The Spencer emulsion polymerization process assures you unexcelled product uniformity from
delivery to delivery. May we help you investigate "PolyEm" as a replacement for the oxidized emulsions you're now using? Call your S p e n c e r representative and f i n d o u t m o r e about the fastgrowing "Poly-Em" family. Or write us at the address below. You'll get complete information and expert technical help.

Sir Christopher Ingold
England's Sir Christopher Ingold was the first recipient of the James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry sponsored by the Northeastern Section, ACS. The award ceremony took place at the 150th National ACS Meeting in Atlantic City. Sir Christopher is an excellent choice to launch the new award, which recognizes outstanding contributions in physical organic chemistry. As one of his associates says, "He is unquestionably one of the founders of mechanistic organic chemistry as we know it today." Christopher Kelk Ingold was born in 1893. He took his early scientific training at the University of Southampton and at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. From the start, he was fascinated by the idea of interpreting and forecasting chemical reactions on the basis of the electronic configuration of molecules. The work won the young scientist the Meldola Medal of the Royal Institute of Chemistry in 1922, an award that recognizes brilliant British chemists under 30 years of age. In 1924 he was awarded a D.Sc. degree from Imperial College and the same year was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, one of the few scientists to be so honored at such an early age. Since .then, awards and honorary degrees have poured in on him—not only from his native England but from many other countries. The Royal Society awarded him the Davy Medal (1946) and the Royal Medal (1952). The Chemical Society (of which he was president 1952-54) awarded him the Faraday Medal (1962). He is a member of the New York Academy of
Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; an honorary foreign member of the Weizmann Institute in Israel; an honorary Counselor for Higher Scientific Investigations in Spain, and a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Sciences there. He was knighted in 1958. Sir Christopher first came to the U.S. as a visiting lecturer at Stanford University in 1932. He has since been associated with the chemistry departments of the universities of Notre Dame, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, and Vanderbilt. During a four-month stay at Cornell in 1950 (while on a Baker Lectureship) he wrote a large part of his now famous book "Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry." Immediately hailed as a classic in its field, the book clearly set out the mechanistic approach to the interpretation of organic reactions. A revised edition is now in preparation. In 1930, Sir Christopher was appointed professor of chemistry at University College, London. He is now emeritus professor and special lecturer. Never one to sit back and take life easy, he continues to carry a heavy work load. He lectures undergraduates in their final year and is constantly on hand to give advice and direction to graduates and undergraduates alike. With over 400 publications to his credit, Sir Christopher's current research interests center around organometallic chemistry. "A more thorough knowledge of the interactions between organic compounds and metals constitutes the last internal boundary within chemistry that awaits wiping out," he says. The subject is ripe for rapid development, he adds.
Dr. James C. R. Turner, professor of chemical engineering at Cambridge University, England, will be visiting professor at the college of engineering, University of Texas, Austin, during the 1965-66 academic year. Dr. Anthony Vinciguerra joins chemistry department of Louisiana State University, New Orleans. Dr. James Wei of Socony Mobil's central research division laboratory near Princeton, N.J., will serve on the staff of the division of chemistry and chemical engineering of Caltech as visiting associate professor for the next semester.
