Minnesota
Chromatography Forum
31st Annual
Spring Symposium
L.S. Palmer
Award
The History
LeRoy Sheldon Palmer (1887-1944) published his thesis work entitled "Carotin - The
Principal Yellow Pigment in Milk Fat" in 1914 at the University of Missouri. It was
one of the first papers to apply a chromatographic separation to a real-life problem and
it closely followed Tswetts controversial pioneering work. He moved to the University of
Minnesota in 1919 in the field of dairy science. In 1922 Palmer's monograph was the first
such volume published by the American Chemical Society and is generally credited with
popularizing chromatography and providing specific applications which sparked interest in
the area.
The Nomination
In order to encourage nominations, we include a single page nomination form. This is meant to serve
as a completed form, if desired, or as an outline for those who wish to add a full vitae.
We will try to contact the nominators to verify receipt of the nomination and also to
secure additional information if required. Nominations must be received on or before March
15.
The Committee
The Palmer Award Committee consists of three members known only to the MCF
past-president, the chair of the Palmer Committee. The committee chair circulates the
nominations among the committee members. The Palmer Award winner for the year is selected
by committee consensus via blind balloting.
The Award
The Palmer Award was created to recognize and to encourage the art and science of
chromatography, in particular as it is related to the membership of the MCF. It is given
to those individuals whose professional as well as scientific accomplishments have
fostered progress in chromatography. The award consists of a plaque, suitably inscribed,
which is presented at the MCF Spring Symposium. The first Palmer Award was received by
Leslie Ettre in 1980 (appropriately, since Dr. Ettre was primarily responsible for calling
Palmer's career achievements to our attention).
