Abstract
THE Pittsburgh Section of the American Chemical Society has selected Dr. Ralph E. Hall, director of the Hall Laboratories, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa., as the recipient of the 1933 (the first) Pittsburgh Award. This honour, which will be conferred on Dr. Hall at the sectional meeting on February 15, is in recognition of his distinguished service to chemistry and humanity, particularly his contributions to the fundamental knowledge of boiler-water reactions and their applications to the practical solution of boiler-water problems, his discoveries and technical accomplishments in the beneficiation and conditioning of water for industrial and domestic use, and his developments in the production of chemicals for these purposes. The Pittsburgh Award is represented by a plaque of gold, on which the relation of chemistry to industry is symbolised.
