J. Bennett Hill (64) recently wrote a history of Project 6 in commemoration of the twenty-fifth year of continuous operation of the project. In commenting on this history, Frederick D. Rossini, who has been the director of Project 6 since January 1, 1935, stated that this history could have been prepared by anyone else only with great difficulty, if at all. Dr. Hill was chairman of the Advisory Committee of Project 6 from its organization in March 29,1928 until December 31,1949. He is still an active and valued member of that group. 

API Research Project 6 (Includes Project 46). The early background of Project 6 Analysis, Purification, and Properties of Petroleum Hydrocarbons, has already been mentioned. Washburn directed the project at the Bureau of Standards until his untimely death February 6, 1934. Washburn (193) had made his first public report to the API on the accomplishments of the project at the Annual Meeting of the API, October, 1933. Following Washburn, M. R. Fenske of The Pennsylvania State College directed the project until Frederick D. Rossini was appointed, January 1, 1935. When Rossini left the National Bureau of Standards to become head of the Department of Chemistry...
