This award was established in 1980 by our Section to:
1. recognize and encourage outstanding work in
chemistry,
2.
advance chemistry as a profession, and
3. recognize service to ACS.
The award is named for the late Dr. Harry S. Mosher of Stanford
University,
Palo Alto, California, and Carol W. Mosher of the Stanford Research
Institute International, Menlo Park,
California,
husband and wife, charter members and long-time supporters of this
Section.
The award currently consists of an engraved plaque and a check
for $2000.
The first scientists to receive this award were Drs. Harry and Carol Mosher themselves in recognition of the inspiration of their example. The committee noted that the Moshers, including a brother, Dr. William A. Mosher, also a chemist and former Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at University of Delaware, are outstanding examples of the qualities to be recognized and honored by this award.
