Abstract
THE British Cotton Industry Research Association has awarded the first two Shirley Fellowships for postgraduate research to Mr. F. Brown and Mr. T. G. Halsall, both of the University of Manchester, who will work on carbohydrate chemistry under the direction of Prof. E. L. Hirst. Mr. Brown has been working on chromatographic and other methods for the separation of closely related carbohydrate derivatives, and Mr. Halsall has been studying the action of periodate ions on polysaccharides. The new methods of end-group determination thus developed will be applied to problems in the chemistry of starch and cellulose. The fellowships date from January 1, 1946.
