Abstract
Frank T. McClure of Johns Hopkins University and Alexander Kolin of the University of California at Los Angeles were among a group of five scientists to be named recipients of the 1965 John Scott Awards. Consisting of a copper medal and a $2000 cash prize, the awards were established in 1816 under the will of John Scott, a chemist in Edinburgh, who bequeathed $4000 in trust to the City of Philadelphia, stipulating that the income be distributed “among ingenious men and women who make useful inventions”. Today the fund amounts to some $111 000 and prizes from it are administered by the Philadelphia Board of Directors of City Trusts.
