He received an honorary D.Sc. degree from Williams in 1939 and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1940. Other awards included the Katherine Berkham Judd prize for Cancer Research (1941), D. Pharm Honoris Causa, Universite de Paris (1953), Manufacturing Chemists Association Award for Teaching (1959), Norris Award for Teaching (1959), and the William H. Nichols Medal (1963). 

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. 

General Motors and then became vice president of Ethyl Corporation, as well as of the Ohio State University Research Foundation. His innovative genius was responsible for the development of organic lead compounds for antiknock gasoline and later for the discovery of fluorocarbon refrigerants for which he did the basic research. He was recipient of many of chemistry s highest honors including the Nichols medal, the Perkin medal, and the Priestly medal. 

Many awards and honors attest to Dr. Bovey s contributions to polymer science. He received the Union Carbide Award of the Minnesota Section of the ACS in 1962. In 1969 he received the Witco Award in Polymer Chemistry of the ACS and the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of Minnesota. In 1974 he was awarded the Ford High Polymer Physics Prize of the American Physical Society. In 1978 he received the Nichols Medal Award of the New York Section of the ACS and delivered the Whitby Memorial Lectures at the University of Akron. His receipt in 1983 of the American Chemical Society Award in Applied Polymer Science, sponsored by Phillips Petroleum Company, was the occasion for the symposium in his honor on which this book is based. 

Nichols Medal of the New York Section of the American Chemical Society 1952... 

He has received more than 30 medals and awards including the Honor Scroll of the American Institute of Chemists (1953), the Nichols Medal of the American Chemical Society (1960), the SPE International Award in Plastics Science and Engineering (1962), the ACS a mrd in Polymer Chemistry (1965), the Chemical Pioneer award of the American Institute of Chemists (1972), the ACS award in Organic Coatings and Plastics (1975) and was named a Pioneer in Polymer Science by Polymer News. 

Paul is one of the few American polymer chemist to receive the Nobel Prize (1974). He was also the recipient of the following awards Baekeland Award (1947), Colwyn Medal (1954), Hi Polymer Physics Award (I960), Nichols Medal (1947), International SPE Award (1967), Goodyear Medal (1968), Peter Debye Award (1968), Chandler Medal... 

Other ACS awards include the Nichols medal (1944) and the Willard Gibbs medal (1956). He received the International Award of the Society of Plastics Engineers... 

American Chemical Society Award for creative work in synthetic organic chemistry (1972), Nichols Medal (1973), Instrument special award (1977) and the Alan E. Preda award. He was named a Pioneer in Polymer Sdence by Polymer News in 1983 and received the Nobel prize in 1984. 

Colwyn Medal, Institution of Rubber Industry, Great Britain, 195. Nichols Medal, New York Section, American Chemical Society, 1962. High-Polymer Physics Prize, American Physical Society, 1962. 

All his hard work paid rich dividends. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1938 and served as the Chairman of the Chemistry Section from 1944-47. He received the Nichols Medal of the New York Section of the ACS in 1944. With this trajectory, it might have been expected that he would receive the Nobel Prize, but not everyone who deserved the prize received it. 

He is the recipient of the Nichols Medal, Willard Gibbs Medal, American Institute of Chemists Gold Medal, Priestley Medal, SPE International Award, Witco Award, Perkin Medal, Madison Marshall Award, American Institute of Chemists Pioneer Award, John Kuebler Award, and Borden Award. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences as well as the National Academy of Arts and Sciences. Speed has received honorary degrees from the Illinois Wesleyan University, University of Illinois, and the University of Louvain.
