JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS .519 respondents were involved in some form of research and development. The NSF survey shows that 39% of the scientists reporting were in- volved in some phase of research (2). A high proportion of our respondents had administrative responsi- bilities. The median number of technical employees supervised by respondents was three to four. Management or administration was the best-paid work activity at a median salary range of $17,500 to $20,000 as compared to $16,100 for chemists in management who reported in the 1966 NSF survey (1). It appears that about one-fifth of the re- spondents are involved in sales and/or technical service. Fringe Benefits Fifty-nine per cent reported that their employers offer educational cost sharing plans. Eleven per cent reported educational leave of absence as a fringe benefit. Society Policy Several questions were posed to the membership in order to evaluate future policy proposals. Seventy per cent feel that the name of the Society' accurately' describes the organization as it exists today'---SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS. There is evidence that a good percentage of people within the cosmetic industry who are qualified are not presently members of the Society. Fifty per cent of the participants in this survey were in favor of the establishment of a correspondence course for the training of new mem- bers to our industry. Forty per cent were opposed. Fifty-four per cent favor the formation of a Cosmetic Research Institute 46% were op- posed. Of those in favor, 52% suppose that their company would finan- cially support such an institute. Sixty-seven per cent of the respon- dents feel that the Society should sponsor scholarships for graduate and undergraduate students working in fields related to cosmetic technology. Forty-nine per cent favor the present three national meetings per year of longer duration. Finally, of the participants in the survey, 84% save their copies of the 1OUR•AL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS. REFERENCES (1) Chemists' salaries continued to rise in 1966, Chem. Eng.
