14TH MEDAL AWARD 73 Along with this has come a change in the attitude toward basic science and a great increase in the support which it can command from Govern- mental and other non-industrial sources. The professional relationship between young scientists and any industry they might enter has always presented some knotty problems, which stem from the essential difference between academic goals and industrial goals. It often requires consider- able reorientation of the academic scientists' sense of values before he be- comes a good industrial man. Today, if he cannot reorient, or does not want to, he has many more opportunities than he formerly had to do academic work. Aside from the research institutions, many of the newer glamor industries (ours is, of course, the only real and original one) tempt the young graduate by offering an academic atmosphere. We cannot, and do not really want to, compete with universities or other institutions doing basic work. But among young chemists who knowingly choose an industrial career, we, the cosmetic industry, must still compete with a wide range of other industries. Most of these are prepared to re- cruit vigorously, and they include such contenders as the chemicals industry itself, whose products are rated by technical specifications rather than by the taste or approbation of the general public. Industries of this type tend to make the young scientist feel safer and more at home. But in recruiting, just as in appraising our own internal situation, we emphasize the opportunities and rewards of a scientific career in the cosmetic industry. In brief, they might be enumerated as follows: 1. Service in a constructive industry, that directly feeds one of the finer human urges toward good appearance and personal attractiveness. 2. An ever-increasing array of interesting problems, spanning and going deeply into many disciplines. 3. The opportunity and demand for creativity in devising new prod- ucts and in transferring new basic discoveries to practical utilization. The transfer of new science to technology has been recognized by the President's Science Advisory Committee as a much desired economic stimulus, and the cosmetic industry has a remarkably good record in this regard. 4. The opportunity to work closely with management and to integrate the technical effort with the company effort. 5. Finally, but most important, as fine a group of knowledgeable, productive, cooperative and stimulating colleagues as any industry can boast a group I feel truly fortunate to belong to, and whose esteem, as expressed in this Award this evening, makes me very proud.
