The Awards Committee of the MRS, chaired this year by Past President Woody White, announces that nominations are being accepted for the Society's highest award, the Arthur von Hippel Award of the Materials Research Society. By virtue of its conception and the outstanding scientists who number among it's recipients, this award has become an international hallmark of excellence in the field of materials research. The Award is named for the Emeritus Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose laboratory pioneered the collaborative, interdisciplinary research that subsequently has taken the identity of "materials science." It recognizes those qualities most prized by materials scientists— brilliance and originality of intellect, combined with vision that transcends conventional scientific disciplines. The award is presented annually by the Society at its Fall Meeting.
Past recipients of the Award are: Prof. Arthur von Hippel Dr. William O. Baker Prof. David Turnbull Prof. W. Conyers Herring Prof. James W. Mayer Prof. Clarence M. Zener Prof. Sir Peter B. Hirsch Dr. Walter L. Brown "While the award is perhaps better defined by the list of past recipients than by any statement of philosophy, the scientists who have received it certainly do embody those qualities that the award was designed to honor/' Committee Chair White points out. The recipient is selected by majority vote of the MRS Council from a slate of candidates that is prepared by the Awards Committee. Any member of the MRS can make nominations to the Committee. Names put into nomination are, in accordance with MRS by-laws, considered active for three years.
"Because the number of nominations is expected to be quite large," reports White, "the committee will accept only those that are submitted on the summary form that is included in this issue of the BULLETIN." The summary form is important, according to White, "Because reproduction, mailing, and consideration of lengthy documentation on each candidate is prohibitive, given the number of candidates that we expect to be nominated this year. Our initial screening of candidates will be based upon the information contained on the summary form." Nominations covered by the completed summary, should be sent to: C. W. White, MRS Past President Solid State Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, TN 37831 NOMINATION DEADLINE: July 1, 1985 Additional copies of the Von Hippel Award Nomination Summary Form may be obtained from MRS Headquarters
