UP TO NOW: AN HISTORICAL NOTE 313 Entertainment Committee Chair- man: Marcel J. Surer Publications Committee Chairman: M. G. deNavarre Medal Award Committee Chair- man: Thomas R. Farrell Library Committee Chairman: Ed- ward Sagatin Publicity Committee Chairman: Gustav Carsch Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee: E.G. McDonough Outstanding among the achieve- ments of the SOCIETY has been the sponsorship of honorary member- ships and medal awards. The first honorary membership of the So- CIETY was given on Dec. 6, 1946, to Dr. Dan Dahle, who addressed the group on the opportunities for chemists in the cosmetic industry. Dr. Dahle's achievements as chief of the cosmetic division of the Food and Drug Administration had won him the honor. The second hon- orary membership was given to Dr. Austin Smith of the American Medical Association, and honorary memberships since that time have been bestowed upon Dr. G. Robert Clark, presently Chief of the cos- metic section of the Food and Drug Administration, and upon J. L. Thomson, who has the correspond- ing position for the Canadian gov- ernment, as head of the cosmetic and color section of the Food and Drug Division, Department of Na- tional Health and Welfare. In 1948, a Medal Award Com- mittee had been set up, headed by the late Curt P. Wimmer the committee drew up rules for the granting of a medal for outstanding scientific achievement in the cos~ metic industry. The first recipient of the award was Dr. Marston T. Bogerr, whose glorious achieve~ ments were recounted by E.G. McDonough. This was on Dec. 8, 1948. One year later, Ralph L. Evans was presented with the cov- eted medal he was eulogized by Foster Dee Snell. In December, 1950, the award was presented to Eric C. Kunz, and eulogies on behalf of Dr. Kunz were made by Valentine Fischer and Edward garin. In December, 1951, the recipient of the awardwas Maison G. deNavarre--the SOCIETY thus rec- ognizing the man who had been its foremost organizer. On behalf o of Mr. deNavarre, commendation addresses were made by Emil Klar- mann and Hatland Wright. Soon after the formation of this SOCIETY, the matter of the edi- torial disposition of the technical papers presented to it, came up for consideration. After thorough study, it was decided that the SOCIETY should publish THE JotrR•^L OV THE SOCIF-TY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS, the first number of which appeared in 1947. To recount the individual issues of the JouRs^L would be unnecessary here. It has reprinted almost all of the papers presented at meetings, including the medal award and honorary membership addresses. It has grouped together on several occasions papers related to each other, thus having symposia on such subjects as odor, surface- active agents, emulsions, dental caries, hair, and test methods. A
