James Bryant Conant '13, Sheldon Emery professor of Organic Chemistry at Harvard, will receive the Chandler Medal of the American Chemical Society, it was announced recently by the Chairman of the Committee of the Chandler Lectureship, R.

The medal, which will be presented on Friday, February 5 to Professor Conant, is awarded this year "to one of the most brilliant organic chemists this country has produced," according to Professor McKee.
The award will be made specifically for Professor Conant's work on reduction and oxidation phenomena, haemoglobin, free radicals, and for his quantitative study of organic reactions.
