The Eleventh Literature Award Dr. Paul W. Jewel, President of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, presented the Eleventh Literature Award of the Society to Drs. William C. Griffin and Paul Becher during the scientific meeting of the Society at the Hotel Biltmore on May 4, 1965. The Literature Award is given each year for the publication during the preceding two years of scientific research judged to be of value to cosmetic science and technology. The Award was made in recognition of Drs. Griffin's and Becher's many years' study of emulsions and their development of a practical procedure for the determination of the type of emulsifiers needed. These authors have been instrumental in the development of the HLB system, which is widely employed in the cosmetic and related industries. I. F. F. Award x964 The I. F. F. Award for the best paper published in an American issue of the JOURNAL OF THE SocmTY oF COSMETIC CH•MIS•S during the calendar year of 1964 was awarded to Messrs. John Facq, David L. Kirk and G. Rebell during the May meeting of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. The selected paper, "A Simple Replica Technique for the Observation of Human Skin," describes a process and the equipment required for the preparation of dimensionally accurate plastic replicas of surfaces. The paper appeared in the February, 1964, issue of the JouRnAL, pages 87-98. The I. F. F. Award is made possible through the generosity of Inter- national Flavors and Fragrances, Inc., and is administered by the Editorial Committee of the JouRnaL oF T•E SocmTY oF COSMETIC CHEMISTS. 301
