Award in Lipid Chemistry Presented to E. P. Kennedy

The AOCS Award in Lipid Chemistry was established in 1967 by the Society's Governing Board, to recognize outstanding original research in lipid chemistry published in a technical journal.

The .&ward is sponsored by Dr. and Mrs. A. Rose, of Applied Science Laboratories.

This year, winner of the Award was E. P. Kennedy, Hamilton Kuhn Professor of Biological Chemistry, Harvard Medical School.

The Award was presented at the ISF-AOCS Meeting by W. C. Ault, of Applied Science Laboratories, who made the following remarks. "Professor Kennedy, Dr. Chang, Mem- bers of the ISF and of the AOCS, Friends:

I bring to you, Professor Kennedy, not only the check for the AOCS Award, but also Greetings from Dr. and Mrs. Rose of the Applied Science Laboratories, Inc., donors of the cash award. The Roses could not be at this meeting and make the presentation themselves and therefore have asked me to represent the Applied Science laboratories here. This I do with pleasure, and since you cannot meet them here, I am sure that you would like to learn a bit about the wonderful people who are making this generous cash award possible.

Dr. and Mrs. Rose both hold earned graduate degrees in science from the UnNersity of Cincinnati. Most of their lives both have been associated with research dealing primarily with the separation and purification of organic compounds. Hence, they have developed a strong sense of appreciation for basic scientific research. Under their leadership, Applied Science is a small company devoted to the development, preparation and sale of tools used in difficult separations and in identification and quantification of the separated components.

In this context it is not so surprising that this Award for excellence in research in fat.s and oils would have originated with them. After one knows the Roses it is not even surprising that the Award began at a time when the sum of money donated was a significant fraction of the annual net income of the company.

Dr. Kennedy, I congratulate you and trust that this brief statement about the donors will increase your appreciation of the value and spirit of the Award represented by this check."

E. P. Kennedy, presently holding a professorship at Harvard Medical School, received a B.S. degree from DePaul University in 1941 and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago in 1949. From 1941 to 1947 he was Research Chemist, Chemical Research Department, Armour and Company; 1949-50, Postdoctoral Fellow of the Ameri- can Cancer Society, University of California; 1950-51, Research Assistant, Massachusetts General Hospital; 1951- 52, Instructor, Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Research and Department of Biochemistry, University of Chicago; 1952-55, Assistant Professor, Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Research and Department of Biochemistry, Univer- sity of Chicago; 1955-56, Associate Professor, Ben May Laboratory fo r Cancer Research and Department of Bio- chemistry, University of Chicago; 1956-60, Professor, De- partment of Biochemistry, University of Chicago; 1959-60, Senior Post-doctoral Fellow, National Science Foundation, Oxford University; 1960-65, Hamilton Kuhn Professor and Head of Department of Biological Chemistry, Harvard Medical School; 1960-, Hamilton Kuhn Professor of Bio- logical Chemistry, Harvard Medical School.

Award of Merit Presentation C. W. Hoerr, Chairman of the Merit Award Committee,

presented awards to R. T. Doughtie and R. A. Reiners, at the ISF-AOCS WoEd Congress with the following comments :

"It is my privilege to present the AOCS Award of Merit to two more of our members for their meritorious service to the Society.

One of today's recipients has been a member of the Society since 1933. Since that time he has served on at least 18 AOCS committees that I know of, and has served as Chairman of at least 8 of these committees. This, in itself, is an outstanding achievement, but he is being honored today particularly for his trememdous efforts which have enhanced the prestige of the Examination Board and the Smalley Committee. He has served as a member of the Examination Board since 1957, and was Chairman from 1964 to 1967. He has been a member of the Smalley Committee since 1947, and has been Chairman since 1967.

You know by now that I am speaking of Richard T. Doughtie, Jr.

The other recipient, R. A. Reiners, has an equally outstanding record of service to the Society. He, too, has served on many committees. He has been a member of the Abstracts Committee for over 20 years, and has served as Chairman for the past 16 years. He has been Secretary, Vice President, and President of the North Central Section of the Society, our hosts for this World Congress in Chicago. He was General Chairman of the AOCS Meeting here in Chicago in 1967. And he is the Chairman of the Program Committee of this World Congress which, I am sure you all agree, has arranged a truly exceptional col- lection of technical papers."
