Faraday medal

He was elected a foreign member of the Royal Society in 1911, the same year he received the Willard Gibbs Medal of the American Chemical Society. Three years later he was awarded the Faraday Medal of the British Chemical Society. He was also a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences and the German Chemical Society. 

During his career Debye was awarded the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society, London, the Franklin and Faraday Medals, the Lorentz Medal of the Royal Netherlands Academy, the Max Planck Medal (1950), the Willard Gibbs Medal (1949), the Nichols Medal (1961), the Kendall Award (Miami, 1957), and the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society... 

He was given many awards and honors including Nichols Medal (1915 and 1920) Hughes Medal (1918) Rumford Medal (1921) Cannizzaro Prize (1925) Perkin Medal (1928) School of Mines Medal (Columbia University, 1929) Chardler Medal (1929) Willard Gibbs Medal (1930) Popular Science Monthly Award (1932) Franklin Medal and Holly Medal (1934) John Scott Award (1937) Modern Pioneer of Industry (1940) Faraday Medal (1944) and Mascart Medal (1950). He was a foreign member of the Royal Society of London, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and an honorary member of the British Institute of Metals and the Chemical Society (London). He served as president of the American Chemical Society and as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He received over a dozen honorary degrees. 

In 1907, the Faraday medal of the English Chemical Society was presented to Fisdier. This required a trip to England to deliver the Faraday lecture. A previous... 

Dalton s most significant work was done between 1795 and 1805, but fame came later—when the importance of his atomic theory was realized. He became a member of the Royal Society in 1822, received its first Royal Medal in 1826, and was honored with a state pension in 1833, among other honors. He died on July 27, 1844, and 40,000 people attended his funeral. see also Berzelius, Jons Jakob Faraday, Michael Lavoisier, Antoine Priestley, Joseph.

Richards, Theodore W. (1868-1928). An American chemist born in Germantown, PA. He was the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in chemistry. He studied chemistry at Haverford and Harvard, with a doctorate in chemistry from Harvard where he later became Erving Professor of Chemistry. An outstanding experimental chemist, his major interests were atomic weights, thermochemistry, and thermodynamics. He was also a brilliant teacher. He was president of the ACS in 1914, and the recipient of many honorary awards, including the Davy, Faraday, and Gibbs medals. 

The Faraday Society also sponsors the Bourke Lectures and the Spiers Memorial Lecture. The Marlow Medal and Award is granted to members under 33 for a meritorious publication.
