Mr. Alden H. Emery
American Chemical Society
1155 Sixteenth Street, N.W.
Washington 6, D.C.
Dear Mr. Emery:
I am pleased to give strong support to the nomination of Dr. Helen French of Vallesley College for the Garvan Medal.
I have known Dr. French for many years. She spent one year as Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology, on leave of absence from Wellesley College. During this period she made a careful investigation of the magnetic properties of some complex cyanides. The problem was a very difficult one, which she attacked with vigor and effectiveness.
Miss French has a fine mind, and has, throughout her career, contributed significantly to chemical teaching and research.
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
