Ross Coffin Purdy Award
Deadline: December 5, 2007 |
Ross Coffin Purdy, in whose honor this award is given, served The American
Ceramic Society for 24 years as General Secretary and Editor of its publications.
He was the recipient of many awards, a Fellow and Honorary Life Member,
and President of this Society. Mr. Purdy was noted for his dynamic leadership,
individualism, broad vision, and unswerving devotion to this Society and
to the ceramic engineering profession. He left us a legacy of warmth and
friendliness and it is fitting that this honor be given in his name.
The award shall be given to the author or authors who, in the judgment
of the Committee, made the most valuable contribution to ceramic technical
literature during the calendar year prior to the selection. A technical
article is defined as a paper, article, or report published in a technical
or trade journal, or in a bulletin from a school, laboratory, technical
bureau, or experimental station, or in a pamphlet or book form. It must
be complete and readily available to the public.
