Professor Jones s outstanding achievements in carbohydrate chemistry were recognized by his receipt of numerous awards and honors. In 1957, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and, in 1959, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada. The Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry of the American Chemical Society presented him with the Claude S. Hudson Award in 1969. He was the 1975 recipient of the Anselme Payen Award from the Cellulose, Paper, and Textile Division. In March 1975, he was awarded the third Sir Norman Haworth Memorial Medal of The Chemical Society (London). 

Bourne s first intention was to become a teacher, but, having won a County Major Scholarship at the age of seventeen, he had the opportunity to study chemistry at the University of Birmingham.

The editors are proud to note that this volume marks the twentieth issue in this serial publication. It is, therefore, in the nature of a Jubilee Volume. One of the editors has been with the publication since its inception, except for a short period during which he served on the Board of Advisors. Although not officially an editor of the first four volumes, the late Claude S. Hudson served as the guiding spirit for these volumes from their inception, and this interest was maintained throughout the rest of his life. Hudson laid down the editorial principles which the editors have ever since endeavored to follow and which were strongly supported at the time by Hudson s good friend, the late Sir Norman Haworth.
