May 12, 1936, he died suddenly during a meeting, where he was a judge of the competition for fellowship (12). 

A strong spirit of unity, a keen esprit de corps, exists among the women students,. All the great Scholarships, Fellowships, Bursaries, and Prizes are open equally to men and women, and though competition is keen, the courtesy shown by the men students to the women students has always been perfect. The same courtesy has not always been shown to women students at other Scottish Universities,, ...47... 

B.A.T. is supported on a USDA post-doctoral fellowship 95-37302-1861. This work was partly fiinded by USDA Competitive Research Grants Program, 94-37302-0567 and NIEHS Grant ROl ES02710-16. University of California at Davis is a NIEHS Center for Environmental Health Sciences (P30 ES05707) and an EPA Center for Ecological Health Research. 

Antarctica is also a continent without borders where scientists from many nations come to work in peace, constrained only by the terms of the Antarctic Treaty. In Antarctica, people of different nationalities and cultures support each other in times of need and enjoy each other s fellowship when they meet on the trail. The spirit of Antarctica has evolved because of the absence of economic competition which has been deliberately excluded by the Treaty. A similar spirit of cooperation is now manifesting itself in the exploration of the solar system because the harsh environment of space and the great effort that is required to survive there demand it. Success in the scientific exploration of Antarctica and of the solar system depends both on international cooperation and on our willingness to respect the natural environmental conditions that exist in these places. 

The status of chemists in the eyes of competition-conscious executives was undoubtedly boosted by the successes of chemists in such fields as plastics, petrochemicals, and synthetic textiles. As a result of the industry s growing demand for trained chemists, a new relationship emerged between industry and the curriculum and research interests of many academic chemistry departments. Universities supplied industry with scientists and with fundamental research to supplement work done in industrial laboratories. In turn industry aided chemistry departments. Many of the increasing number of chemistry students in American universities were supported by pre- and postdoctoral fellowships from chemical corporations. Du Pont alone offered fellowships worth eighteen thousand dollars at 12 institutions in 1936—1937 between 1918 and 1932, the company awarded 326 fellowships and 34 scholarships to young academic chemists. 

G. V. thanks the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity (MINECO) for a FPI predoctoral fellowship. Financial support by MICINN (Project AYA2009-1390-C02-02) is also gratefully acknowledged.
