Abstract
AT a recent meeting of the New York Section of the Society of Chemical Industry, Dr. Baekeland was awarded the Perkin medal for his discoveries in technical chemistry. Dr. Baekeland, in acknowledging the honour, gave an interesting account of the introduction of the well-known velox paper into photography, and the successive steps in the production of bakelite—an artificial resin of great hardness and durability, which has found a variety of important applications.
