JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS THE TENTH LITERATURE AWARD June 24, 1964 Columbia University New York City During the banquet in connection with the Third Congress of the Inter- national Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, held in Ferris Booth Hall at Columbia University on June 24, 1964, Mr. Robert A. Kramer, President or the SOCIETY Or CosMF. T•C CuF. M•sTs, presented the S.C.C. Literature Award for 1963 to Dr. E. Howard Mercer of Melbourne, Aus- tralia. Dr. Mercer was given the award for his achievement in extending our knowledge of the molecular biology of keratin and of the keratinization process. His clarification of the relation between the structure and func- tion of various keratinized tissues is or immense value to all who must treat the skin and hair. The Literature Award is made possible through the continued interest and financial support of no less than 160 manufacturers, suppliers, testing laboratories and other companies, who in joint effort promote and encourage basic research in cosmetic science. HOWARD MERCER, Ph.D. A EuLoc¾ BY A.M. KLmMAN, M.D., PH.D.* Eulogizing, as most of you know, runs counter to my native instincts. I have a more cultivated taste for profanations. This, however, is my second panegyrical or praise-producing performance before this Soc•v.T¾ on the occasion of increasing the unearned income of meritorious scientists by $1000. Eulogizing, as you know, is praise of individuals who have the advantages of wealth or power or who are in the convenient state of being dead. Since I am forced to practice the laudatory art, it behooves me to hydrolize my high molecular weight hostility and reconstitute the ingredients into the oily cosmetics used for beautifying the scientific image of the recipient. * University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 4, Pa.
