Abstract
THE medal of the Society of Chemical Industry has been awarded to Prof. G. G. Henderson, regius professor of chemistry in the University of Glasgow. The Medal is presented every alternate year for conspicuous service to applied chemistry. Prof. Henderson began a life-long association with teaching in 1884, when he became assistant to the professor of chemistry in the University of Glasgow. He also possesses the unique distinction of having been president of the Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry and the Society of Chemical Industry. For a number of years, he was one of the secretaries of Section B (Chemistry) of the British Association, in 1905 he became recorder, and in 1916 he was president. Much time and energy has been devoted by Prof. Henderson to the prosecution of original research mostly in the organic field and particularly the chemistry of terpenes and to the supervision of the research work of students.
