Milton Harris has been a benefactor to OSU and the Chemistry Department, beginning with our seminar room, the Harris Professorship of Materials Science held by Mas Subramanian, the College of Science's Milton Harris Award in Basic Research, the Harris Teaching Awards, and these Graduate Research Awards. This led to a career that began in the textile industry, followed by NBS, the founding of Harris Laboratories, buy-out by Gilette, a distinguished career as VP for research there, and finally after retirement, Chairman of the Board of ACS. At Yale, he was courted by synthetic chemists but chose to work in protein structures and polymer chemistry.
Although he had never even considered a research career, the chair of chemistry at the time, Professor Floyd Rowland, encouraged him to go to Yale to study organic chemistry. He graduate from OAC in chemistry at the age of 19 in 1926. Milton Harris grew up in Portland, Oregon where his parents ran a small grocery store.

He spent his entire professional life in Corvallis and when he died he left in his will a trust, the income from which was to "be applied and used to awarding research fellowships to promising scientists in the fields of chemistry and bacteriology relating to human diseases."Īwards are based on achievements in academics and research as well as performance in teaching roles. He then went to the University of Chicago and obtained an M.D. He completed schooling in Corvallis and graduated from the School of Pharmacy at OSU in 1915 after which he practiced pharmacy in Corvallis for a few years. Awards assist graduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology.ĭr. The department provides competitive summer support to students whose research is related to human health. Lastly, it will be the PI who submits the forms on behalf of the department to the graduate school: However, please fill in the official nominator’s name, whether it was the Department Head or the Head of the Graduate Advising Committee. You will have two weeks for the preparation. The main office may help with transcripts or some other required documentation. It is the PI’s responsibility to gather the required nomination materials, including drafts of recommendation letters. Preparation of application packages to the graduate school The PI of the selected nominees will be informed by email two weeks before the deadline for the Graduate School. Reviewing by the committee will take no longer than a week. Reviewing process by the awards committee Please mark the deadline for each award in your calendar if you intend to nominate your students for certain awards. The deadlines of the department for each award will be held with no exceptions to be made. The deadline for submitting a nomination to the Awards Committee will be 11:59 pm on the day exactly three weeks before the deadline for the Graduate School. A brief recommendation from the PI (a single paragraph will be fine).

Include the following items in the application materials for each student nomination and send to as one PDF file. These limitations are set because the number of nominees from each department is limited, typically one or two per award. One student is allowed to be nominated to no more than three awards. The Chemistry Department Awards Committee will use the following process for nomination: Number of nominations per groupĮach group can only nominate one student per award. Our program is one of the largest on campus and should be well represented in these awards. For awards focused on recruiting (for example the Provost’s Distinguished Scholarship) the graduate recruiting committee will select candidates and complete the nomination packages. The goal of the Awards Committee is to help our graduate students to win OSU Graduate School Awards in recognition of their hard work and in celebration of their successes.
