Robert B. Woodward, Morris Loeb professor of chemistry, is the first winner of the new $1,000 American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, the A.C.S. has announced.
Woodward will receive the award, established last January, at the society's next meeting, in April at Miami, Fla. The prize will be awarded annually for creative work in synthetic organic chemistry published in an American journal during the three years preceding the selection date.
Woodward, who has taught here since 1937, has also received the $1,000 George Ledlie Prize, given to a University researcher for important contributions to human welfare.
