WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. 1963 Oregon Man Receives Chemical Society Award MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON EUGENE Dr. Marshall Fix man, director of the Institute of Theoretical Science at the Uni versity of Oregon, has received the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry as the nation's outstanding young chemist. The honor Is one of the highest which is given in his field. The award, which consists of $1,000 and a certificate, was an nounced Monday evening in New York at the 145th national meet ing of ACS. The award will be presented formally to Dr. Fix man in Denver in January at the next ACS meeting. Dr. Fixman is the 33rd recipi ent 8f the award, which was established in 1931 by Dr. Irving Langmuir, General Electric company scientist and Nobel prize winner. Financial responsi bility for the award was as sumed in 1940 by Alpha Chi Sig ma, honorary fraternity for stu dents in chemistry. Dr. Fixman is a "pencil-and-paper" scientist, who uses mathematics and other non-experimental, or non - laboratory, methods to discover new laws of nature. He is particularly inter ested in the relationships be tween the structure and function of chemical substances and the effect on an entire chemical substance of the interaction of its structural units, or mole cules. He is currently Interested in the problems of the "critical region," where, with a given volume, pressure, and temper ature, a gas is turned into a liquid, and is also working with polymer solutions. Polymers are giant, synthetic molecules which make up such substances as ny lon and plastics. Dr. Fixman joined the Uni versity of Oregon faculty in 1981 as professor of chemistry and the first director of the Institute of Theoretical Science.
