Dr. Hungerford Wins Leidy Medal for Science
Dr. Herbert Barker Hungerford, professor emeritus of entomology, has been awarded the Leidy Medal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, Pa.
Director of the Academy, Dr. H. Radclyffe Roberts, announced Friday that the medal will be presented by President M. Albert Linton Oct. 23 during a ceremony at the Academy, Dr. Hungerford will give an address after the presentation.
The citation was for:
"His industry and resulting eminence as an authority in his field are reflected not only by the hundreds of new species he himself has described and the many papers he has written, but also by the honor implied through the number of species named for him by others."
The Leidy Medal is given every three years for the "best publication, exploration, discovery or research in the natural sciences." Prof. Hungerford's research has been devoted to the ecology and biology of water insects.

drawing instruments and slide rules
When it comes to Slide Rules... take the K&E Decitrig $ ^{ \circ} $ :
Its versatile scales team up to give faster solutions of complex problems. A dual purpose D scale and three LL scales cover a log log range of 1.00... to 22,000. And the A-B scales make quick, non-stop work of square root derivations. Sharp, engine-divided graduations permit accurate readings in a hurry.
And...look at K&E Drawing Instruments.
But remember, there's more to drawing instruments than the way they look. It's the important "extras," such as accuracy, materials, workmanship, manufacturer's reputation, that determine genuine value. Every K&E set—and they come in a wide price range—offers you the "extra" features that mean extra value.
