CHICAGO, May S0.-The Willard
Gibbs medal, awarded annually to
the living American scientist deemed
to have done most to promote the
human enjoyment of life, went to
DR.. John Jacob Abel, of Johns
Hopkins University, famed through
out the scientific world as a pharma-
cologist and biochemist.

Julius Stieglitz, head of the chemistry
department of the University of Chi

point Of the two-day meeting of the
Midwest regional meeting of the

DIR. Abel has increased the human
enjoyment of life by accomplishing
two things in particular. His record
of scientific service contains, first,
the pioneer isolation in a derivative
form Of adrenalin with it's i'm.
portant function of constructing the
blood vessels; and, second, and most
recently, isolation in pure crystalline
form of insulin, invaluable in the
