J. G. Daunt

IT is my very pleasant duty this afternoon to make the presentation of the First Fritz London Award to Dr. Nicholas Kurti. In doing so, I shall act on behalf of the 1957 Fritz London Award Committee which has the following members: Dean F. G. Brickwedde. Professor W. M. Fairbank, Dr. E. F. Hammel, and Dr. H. O. McMahon, and myself as chairman. I am also acting on behalf of the whole organization of the Fifth International Conference on Low‐Temperature Physics and Chemistry, at which biennial conferences these awards are to be, we hope, a regular feature. I also act on behalf of the sponsors of the award, the Arthur D. Little Foundation.
