The
Lyman C. Newell Grants for Attending the Annual Summer Conference
of NEACT
The Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society offers
the Lyman C. Newell Grants for the support in attending the Annual
Summer Conference of NEACT. The four Newell Grants for 2009 are
for $225 each. While preference is given to teachers who are
new to teaching
or returning to teaching, the awards are open to everyone. Applicants
do not need to be members of the Northeastern Section or of NEACT.
The Lyman C. Newell Grants commemorate a former chair of the Northeastern
Section who was a distinguished chemist, teacher, and historian
of chemistry. For many years he was chair of the Chemistry Department
at Boston University. Lyman Newell served as the first president
of NEACT from 1898 to 1900 and expressed a continuing interest
in
training chemistry students throughout his long career. It is fitting
that his efforts are continued by grants that bear his name.
