Abstract
THE Platinum Medal of the Institute of Metals for 1942 has been awarded to Mr. W. Murray Morrison, vice-chairman and managing director of the British Aluminium Co., in recognition of his outstanding services to the non-ferrous metals industries. Mr. Morrison is an original member and a fellow of the Institute of Metals, on the Council of which he served for sixteen years-in the last two as vice-president. He may be described as the father of the aluminium industry in Great Britain, having been associated with the British Aluminium Co. since its inception in 1894. He is also the pioneer of the developments of Highland water-power upon which depend the electro-metallurgical operations for the production of aluminium at three great Scottish factories.
