Albert A. DiLeonardi Wins ASTM Scribner Award Albert A. DiLeonardi, chief spectroscopist a t Kennecott Refining Corp. in Solley, Md., received the B. F. Scribner Award for 1975 from the American Society for Testing and Materials’ Committee E-2 on Emission Spectroscopy, February 25, during a meeting of Committee E-2 in Cleveland, Ohio. The award was given for “outstanding contributions on behalf of the committee in promoting analytical standardization in our nation’s copper industry.” Mr. DiLeonardi received a BS degree in chemistry from Loyola College in Baltimore in 1943. He took a postgraduate course in instrumental analysis in 1958 and other postgraduate courses in spectrographic analysis of metals, nonferrous metallurgy, physical metallurgy, etc., from 1943-50 a t Johns Hopkins University. He held various spectroscopic, chemical, and supervisory positions a t Revere Copper and Brass, Inc., the U S . Army, Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corp., and Lockheed before joining Kennecott in 1959.
The annual award will consist of a $1,000 prize and a suitable acknowledgement to the author(s). Papers may be nominated by the author(s) or by any other individual. Alex J. Kavoulakis, chairman of the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, said that the award was established to promote and acknowledge significant contributions to the literature that have a direct application for the practicing analytical chemist. The award will encourage the publication of outstanding papers in applied analytical chemistry, “We want to recognize the people who are solving real problems in analysis,” Mr. Kavoulakis said. The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh is calling for nominations for the Pittsburgh Applied Analytical Chemistry Award for presentation a t the 1976 Pittsburgh Conference. Five copies of the nominated paper should be sent to: Dr. Gerald Walsh, Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Crime Laboratory, 311 Ross Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219, before July 15, 1975.
Pittsburgh Applied Analytical Chemistry Award The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, one of the sponsors of the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, announces the establishment of the “Pittsburgh Applied Analytical Chemistry Award.” The Pittsburgh Applied Analytical Chemistry Award will acknowledge important contributions to the literature in the area of applied analysis. Papers published between January l, 1969, and December 31, 1974, which demonstrate usefulness in solving real problems in analytical chemistry will be considered for the first award in 1976. The award will be given annually for a paper published in the previous five years. Once a paper is nominated, it will be considered each year that the paper meets the publication date criteria.
Walter E. Harris Wins Chemical Education Award Walter E. Harris, chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, has been named recipient of the Chemical Education Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) for 1975. The award is scheduled to be presented to Dr. Harris on May 26 a t the 58th Conference and Exhibit of CIC to be held in Toronto. He was selected for “his pioneering work in modernizing the university teaching of analytical chemistry.” Dr. Harris was educated a t the University of Alberta (BS, MS)

and a t the University of Minnesota. He remained a t Minnesota working on a U S . government synthetic rubber program until 1946 when he joined the University of Alberta staff. Among his earlier awards is the Fisher Scientific Lecture Award in 1969. Dr. Harris is active in the affairs of CIC. He is a reviewer for ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY and was on our Advisory Board from 1970 through 1972.
