| Description | In January last year he received £15 from the Royal Society in aid of research into the action of hydrochloric acid and haloid compounds of hydrocarbon radicals on the amide of acetoacetic ether. He has published a preliminary paper on the subject, which he sends, together with some other papers for which he received a Royal Society grant. He encloses vouchers for rather more than £15, with several articles scored through in red ink - these were used in other work. His former address was the Ladies' College Cheltenham, but from September he will be at the Chemical Laboratory, University College London.
Norman Collie was awarded a grant of £15 from the Royal Society's Donation Fund, in December 1885, 'for the Researches specified in the Report [of the Government Grant Committee]'. |
