136 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS As you will see, this career exemplifies my opening remarks our sub- ject discovered early in her life what she wanted to do, pursued it with extraordinary intelligence, determination, and tireless effort she is now achieving the triumphant success which she deserves. The scientific world could use many more Eunice Thomas Miners there is only one. The New York Academy of Sciences is fortunate in having her, and you are fortunate in having her as your guest today. EUNICE THOMAS MINER, SIXTH HONORARY MEMBER By WALTER A. TAYLOR, PH.D. Manager, Research & Control Laboratories, Pond's Extract Company, Clinton, Conn. IT IS DIFFICULT TO enumerate all of the contributions that Mrs. Miner has brought to the SocIETY since 1952 when she made it possible for us to have our headquarters in the New York Academy of Sciences at 2 East 63rd Street. During the seven years prior to 1952 we were undergoing the transition of initial organization to achievement of professional society status. The lack of permanent headquarters was a handicap in facilitating matters of welfare to the SOCIETY or its members. When we availed ourselves of the opportunity to move into the Academy building we not only had a home, but found facilities awaiting us that would have been beyond the reach of our own limited financial capacity. Within the Academy we at long last have a fine place for our library where we are preserving the literature of the Science of Cosmetics. Wil- liam Geise of the Academy staff has become our Administrative Assistant, and brings with him years of organizational experience which has been of immeasurable help. We now have an efficient headquarters where con- tact can be made with the SOCIETY, and from where the SOCIETY can use the most modern mailing facilities. Members and non-members of the SOCIETY may arrange for technical and employment conferences. The Academy has facilities for printing and handling printed material such as notices and technical literature. I do not want to give you the impression that the Academy has a sur- plus of space, but rather to convey to you the fact that Mrs. Miner was somewhat of a magician in rearranging so as to provide space for the SOCIETY.
