62 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS his pioneer studies on cosmetic sunburn preventives, his work on new deodorants and dentifrices and his writings on the effects of estrogenic hormone creams. He has directed the expansion of the highly regarded and popular lines of Dorothy Gray and Tussy Cosmetics, always with an eye toward insuring the acceptability of these prepargtions on derma- tological grounds. Emil Klarmann is one of the charter members of the SociETY or' Cos- METre C•M•sws and one of its early presidents. He was the first chair- man of the newly established Disinfectant and Sanitizers Division of the Chemical Specialities Manufacturing Association. He is a member of several professional societies, including the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemists, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Public Health Association, the Society of Ameri- can Bacteriologists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the New York Academy of Science, etc. He has been a member of the Editorial Committee of the JouR•^x• ov w• Soe•w¾ ov Cos•.x•e C. Eu•sTs from the inception of this publication. We could if time permitted elaborate more on the contributions of Dr. Klarmann to the science of chemistry and the art of cosmetics but let us try to find the peculiar genius of this man, that faculty of his which makes him stand out among his fellow scientists. He understands and grasps the achievements in sciences different from, but related to, his own field and coordinates the knowledge to their mutual benefit. His scien- tific acumen, the result of a vast amount of soundly organized knowledge in many fields, enables him to recognize, evaluate, _and apply all that is new and of value, and to reject all that has no value, even though it may have been highly exploited and accepted by those less critical and less in- formed. He has demonstrated and is constantly aware of the close inter- relationships between cosmetics, dermatology, endocrinology and bac- teriology, and has striven for the practical utilization of this interrelation. The result has been better and safer cosmetics and antibacterials. By his work Dr. Klarmann has added to the scientific standing, the dignity, the ethics and the grace of the cosmetic chemistry. This, ladies and gentle- men, is a joint word portrait by Mr. Sagarin and me, of the man Emil Klarmann, scientist and "old school" gentleman, worthy of the high honor you are about to bestow upon him tonight.
