Abstract
THE London Midland and Scottish Railway announces that the first award of the Herbert Jackson Medal and Prize has been made to Mr. A. S. Davison, of the Crewe Chemical Laboratory, for a paper on the "Chemical and Biological Examination of Water Supplies". This medal has been struck by the Company in memory of the late Sir Herbert Jackson, and is to be awarded annually to a member of the Company's research staff for the best written account of an investigation carried out in the Company's laboratories during the year. Sir Herbert Jackson was an original member of the L.M.S. Advisory Committee on Scientific Research, on which he served from 1930 until his untimely death in 1936. He played an invaluable part in guiding the earlier work of the Committee, and above all, in encouraging the many members of the Company's scientific staff with whom he came into contact, and the directors felt that it would be appropriate to perpetuate his memory by the foundation of an annual prize for the encouragement of scientific research.
