Glenn E. and Barbara Hodsdon Ullyot Scholarship
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) invites applications for the Glenn E.
and Barbara Hodsdon Ullyot Scholarship. The goal of the Ullyot Scholarship
is to advance public understanding of the importance of the chemical
sciences to the public welfare.
The fourth annual Ullyot Scholarship, which will be awarded for summer 2000,
offers a stipend of $3,500 plus modest travel and research support. The
scholar will spend a minimum of two months in residence at CHF, conducting
research on the heritage of the chemical sciences using the resources of
CHF's Othmer Library of Chemical History in Philadelphia, other area
libraries, and associated resources.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a one-page description of
the proposed research, and an outline of a specific product as an outcome of
the scholarship. The proposal should demonstrate how the resources of the
Othmer Library are relevant to the applicant's project. In addition,
applicants should arrange for two letters of reference to be sent directly
to CHF.
Deadline:
15 February 2000

The Chemical Heritage Foundation was established in 1982 by joint action of
the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers. Public education programs and academic initiatives are undertaken
through the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry. They include
traveling exhibits, oral histories, high-school teacher workshops,
publications, lectures and seminars, archival projects, and other
appropriate endeavors to publicize the achievements of chemical scientists
and the chemical process industries. Basic research in the history of the
chemical sciences, scholarly publications, and the building of a strong
chemical presence in the world of academic and public history are
emphasized.
The Othmer Library of Chemical History houses a rapidly growing collection
of primary published sources on chemistry in the last hundred years,
maintains a wide array of reference books and other secondary literature,
collects the archives of professional organizations and the personal papers
of outstanding chemists and industrialists, and maintains an extensive
pictorial collection. It serves as an information resource for the chemical
community and the media and supports the programs of the Beckman Center.
