Need a taste-tested surfactant? Try Elanco Purified Sodium N-Coconut-AcidN-Methyltaurate
OCH 3 II I "11 Π23~υ-Ν-υΗ2~υΠ2~υθ3 Nfl For use in oral consumer products requiring stable shelf storage. This highly refined surfactant provides a high stable foam combining su perior detergency and rinsability w i t h almost complete freedom from salt and moisture. Added features are resistance to hydroly sis and the absence of objection able taste factors often associated with other agents in an unrefined state. An alkyl sulfo-amide free from extreme pH or temperature lim itations, its solubility and effec tiveness persist in cold, hard water and concentrated electrolyte so lutions. Good soap compatibility, dispersant, suspending, and lu bricating qualities complete the profile of a distinctly useful spe cialty surfactant. Specifications : Assay: Not less than 9 5 . 0 % by titration Sodium Chloride: Not more than 1.5% by titration Loss on drying: Not more than 1.5% (110° C for 2 hrs.) Free N-Methyltaurine: Not more than 1.2% (potentiometric) Available as a dry white granular powder in 100 lb. fiber drums.

Society to receive half of Cope estate Dr. Arthur C. Cope, who was serving his seventh term as Chairman of the ACS Board of Directors when he died on June 4, left one half of his estate to the Society. The gift was an nounced by the present Chairman, Dr. Milton Harris, at the Council meeting in New York. The other half of the estate goes to Dr. Cope's widow, Harriet T. Cope. Although the exact size of the gift to the Society will not be known until the will has been probated, the estate is "of considerable value," according to Dr. Harris. The Society's share, he said, will be placed in the Arthur C. Cope Memorial Fund for support of work and education in the field of or ganic chemistry. This fund had been established by the Board at a special meeting in Boston on June 9, before the provisions of Dr. Cope's will were made known. Since then, Dr. Harris reported, about $7000 of unsolicited money has been
Dr. Collat's research has dealt with applying electrochemical methods to general chemical problems. He has recently studied reactions of vitamin B 1 2 and similar compounds under a National Institutes of Health grant. Born in New York City, Dr. Collât received a B.A. in 1949, an M.A. in 1951, and a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1953 from Harvard University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT in 1953-54, and then went to Ohio State as assistant professor of chemistry. He was named associate professor in 1963. Dr. Collât is a member of ACS and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Local section awards Dr. Arthur C. Cope
contributed to the fund by friends and colleagues. Donations to the fund will continue to be welcomed. They may be sent to Dr. B. R. Stanerson, Executive Secretary, at ACS headquarters. In his will, Dr. Cope, who was Camille Dreyfus Professor in Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, directed that the funds bequeathed to the ACS "shall be invested and the income therefrom shall be used for awards or other suitable grants to be made by the American Chemical Society in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of organic chemistry." At the suggestion of Dr. Harris, members of the Council stood for a moment in silence in tribute to the memory of "our great friend and great colleague, a great and dedicated man in this Society."
Justin W. Collât joins ACS staff Dr. Justin W. Collât has joined the ACS staff in Washington as assistant to the director of the Division of Research Grants and Fellowships. He will assist the director in administering the grant and award program of The Petroleum Research Fund, supervise the Society's program of aid to Asian chemists and chemical engineers under a grant from the Asia Foundation, and assist the ACS committee on Herman Frasch Foundation awards. Dr. Collât is on a one-year leave of absence from Ohio State University.
The San Antonio Section honored 11 high school students and their teachers at its annual awards banquet. The first place winner, David J. C. Curry, received the Melvin S. Davis scholarship; second place winners Joseph Gregg and Paul Spellman received ACS industrial affiliate scholarships; and third place winners Edith Hollan and Bobby Kauffman received ACS section member scholarships. Students John Baker, Dick Carnes, Richard L. Holmes, Patricia Holmgreen, Jose Rodriguez, and Bruce Stanbury were given copies of the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics." The Columbus Section presented scrolls to 10 outstanding senior chemistry majors in area colleges. Each student also received $10 toward either membership in ACS or a subscription to a technical publication. The students were Brian A. Bidlingmeyer, Kenyon College; Philip S. Bryan, Ohio State; Joyce E. Carlson, Capital University; Linda Mueller, Denison; Patricia Semple and Theresa Weisenbach, College of St. Mary of the Springs; Roberta Kay Sette, Otterbein; Robert Smith, Muskingum; James E. Thomasson, Ohio Wesleyan; and Timothy Witwer, Wittenberg. Emil B. Haney of Liberty UnionThurston High School, Baltimore, Ohio, received the section's award for the year's most outstanding high school chemistry teacher. He received $50 and a scroll; $50 was given to the high school to be used for purchases under Mr. Haney's direction.
NO SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT ANALOG SIMULATION Write for your copy of "Analog Simulation in Scientific Education." It shows you how analog computers are being successfully used in over 500 educational institutions in education and research programs. It gives you important new information on analog computation both as a subject of study and as a vital scientific tool. Included in the report is a section describing actual applications in engineering and science departments with comments by leading educators. There are descriptive notes on analog computer fundamentals and informative material on the characteristics of co'mputers and how they may be applied in research, classroom instruction and student laboratory use.
