Vol. I No. 8 August 1964 Report of the Group Structure Committee to Council (Accepted by Council at a Special Meeting o n May 14th 1964) CONSTITUTION OF COMMITTEE AND TERMS OF REFERENCE AT a meeting of Council on the 19th June the undersigned was asked to form a Committee “to review the functions of the Groups and Discussion Panels and their relation to the parent Society.” The constitution of the Committee which was approved by Council at its next meeting was- Dr. A. J. Amos (Chairman) Dr. L. Brealey (Chairman Elect of the Physical Methods Group) Mr. W. A. Broom (Chairman of the Biological Methods Group) Mr. R. C. Chirnside Mr. A. G. Jones Mr. S. A. Price Mr. A. A. Smales Mr. D. W. Wilson (Chairman of the Microchemistry Group) Changes in the internal structure of Society recommended by the Committee and the reasons for these recommendations were submitted to the existing Groups through their respective Chairmen who were members of the Committee.The comments that were received revealed that the Groups accepted the need for a revision of the internal structure of the Society and supported in general but not entirely in particular the reconstruction recommended bv the Committee. Some Group Committee members favoured a broadening of the scope of some of the Groups in the proposed new structures. The Group Structure Committee was unable to accept this proposal the adoption of which would perpetuate the situation the new structure is designed to avoid. The envisaged new structure provides for any number of not necessarily perrnanent units that together with the main programme of the Society should meet the needs of analysts in all fields of work and be in keeping with the trend of analytical chemistry; the re-creation of “umbrella” Groups would inevitably lead to the formation of satellite specialist Panels and thus re-establish the present structure.A suggestion that the proposed Special Techniques Group should be replaced by additional specialist Groups is in accord with the Committee’s anticipation of the trend of development of the new Group structure but it was decided that a graduated reconstruction would be in the best interests of the Society ; the proposed Special Techniques Group should function during the transition period but in due course new specialist Groups are likely to arise which would make its continued existence unnecessary. Most of the amendments of the draft Report and Rules suggested by the Groups were accepted and the Committee places on record its thanks for the thoroughness with which the Groups studied the proposals and prepared their reports.

94 REPORT OF THE GROUP STRUCTURE CORIhlITTEE IProc. SOC. Anal. Chew. Report of the Group Structure Committee NEED FOR REVISION OF THE SOCIETY’S STRUCTURE- IN the light of changes in the scope and trend of analysis the existing Group structure of the Society which has remained unchanged since its inception twenty years ago is unrealistic. If the picture presented by the Society is to be that of a live organisation whose interests and activities keep pace with the advance of analysis in all its aspects then whenever necessary the Society must be prepared to make radical changes in its structure; enhancement of the Society’s status has been impeded in the past by a marked conservatism and an unwillingness to break with tradition. In the opinion of the Committee the present group structure of the Society consisting of three major Groups with broad and overlapping interests and a number of satellite Panels is out-dated and should be replaced by a series-and possibly a changing series-of units each directly responsible to the parent Society and having two functions to provide for the interests of specialists and to ensure that the main and subsidiary meetings of the Society between them give adequate coverage to the latest developments and trends in analysis.REVISED STRUCTURE AND ITS ADMINISTRATIOX- The Committee discussed the merits and demerits of various names for the equal-ranking units of the new structure. “Panel” “Divisions,” “Branches” were rejected and “Sections” was already in use for the geographical divisions of the Society. I t was agreed therefore to recommend the retention of the word “Group.” The existing two Panels which would be renamed “Groups” in the new structure and the newly proposed Groups have recently-developed physical methods of analysis as their subjects of interest.Many other physical methods (including some pioneered by the Physical Methods Group) have now become accepted as normal practice in analytical chemistry and should be properly covered in the programme of the Society. I t seems clear that there will be a continuation of this pattern of the emergence of new physical methods and the general assimilation of many of those more developed. Thus a triple structure is indicated of (a) a Group (possibly called Special Techniques Group rather than the “all inclusive” Physical Methods Group and which could be administered by the presently elected Officers and Committee of the Physical Methods Group) which could deal with very new developments and older but extremely specialised physical methods not covered by a specialist Group within the Society and not likely to be considered part of general analytical chemistry ( b ) a series of new Groups picking up the new developments as they grow to a suitable stage of wider but still specialist interest and (c) the normal programme of the Society taking care of the “assimi- lated” methods.None of these suggestions is meant to be restrictive or exclusive and it may well be important that the Society should hold a major meeting on a very new topic even before it has been considered by the Special Techniques Group or before a new Group has been formed to deal with it.Co-operation in the best interests of analytical chemistry and the Society should be the keynote of any suggested structure. The new structure should be more dynamic than static and just as a new Group should be added to the list whenever the need arises so should an existing Group be disbanded if it outlives its usefulness; over a period of time the changes in the constitution of the Group structure should portray the development of analytical chemistry. The administration of a Group should rest with its elected Officers and members of Committee but co-ordination of the activities of different Groups and liaison between the Groups and Council should be the responsibility of a new Committee of Council. I t would also be the duty of this Committee to keep under constant review the need for new or the dis- continuance of existing Groups.Chairmen of Groups should not as heretofore be ex-officio members of Council because continuance of this practice could well result in an already large Council becoming too un- wieldy to function efficiently. They should however have access to Council through the Group Liaison and Policy Committee of which they should be ex-officio members and the Chairman of which should be a member of Council. Rule 36 (B) in the Articles of Association should be amended accordingly. Membership of a Group should be open to non-members of the Society for a period of one year during which time the Society would bear the expense of circulating such members August 19643 REPORT OF THE GROUP STRUCTURE COMMITTEE 95 1 . 7 I. 3. 3.L 3. 6. 1-7. 8. 9. with notices of meetings of the Group. Group Committees should keep such “temporary” members under review and endeavour to bring them into the Society when their period of free Group membership terminated. The possibility and advisability of accepting Group “subscribers” at a reduced subscription as an alternative to full membership of the Society was discussed but the Committee was unable to reach agreement. This is a matter that might well be remitted to the Committee recommended for the supervision of Group structure and policy. RECOMMENDATIONS- Believing that a revision of its internal structure in the directions discussed in the fore- going sections of this Report is essential if the Society is to grow in size and reputation the Committee presents for earnest consideration by Council the following recommendations- The unrealistic and out-dated group structure of the Society consisting of three major Groups with broad and overlapping interests and a number of satellite Panels should give place to an internal structure of divisions of interest each directly respon- sible to the parent Society.These divisions of the Society should be termed “Groups.” A “Group Liaison and Policy” Committee should be appointed by Council with terms of reference that authorise it- (a) to co-ordinate the activities of the Groups (b) to act as a liaison between the Groups and Council and (c) to keep under constant review the need for new or the discontinuance of existing Groups. This Committee should consist of a Chairman and three members one of whom should be the Chairman of the Programmes Committee appointed by Council together with the Chairman of each Group.The Honorary Officers of the Society should be ex-officio members of the Committee. The initial constitution of the revised internal structure should be- Special Techniques Group Biological Methods Group Thin-Layer Chromatography Group Atomic-Absorption Spectroscopy Group * Microchemist ry Group Each Group would organise meetings appropriate to the specialised interests of its members but would keep the Programmes Committee advised of opportunities for meetings in its field that would attract a larger audience and might be planned as Society meetings. A Group should not continue to adhere to a previously established programme pattern if it became difficult to think of subjects and to find speakers.At such a stage which may well arise in the life of any Group concerned with a specialised technique the number and type of meetings should be adjusted to the slower tempo of development and expansion of application. Non-members of the Society should be eligible for membership of a Group for a period of one year during which time they would receive free of charge notices of meetings . Appointed or elected members of a Group Committee should be restricted to members of the Society. In special circumstances and with the approval of Council a non- member of the Society could be co-opted to serve on a Group Committee. All Groups should be governed by the Rules set out in the Appendix to this Report.$ * I t has subsequently been agreed by Council in conjunction with the Group Committee that this 7 Recommendation No. 7 was amended by Council by the insertion of “non-voting” before the word $ Not reproduced. Group should in future be known as the Microchemical Methods Group. “membership.”

August 19641 OBITUARY 97 Obituary GEORGE WICKHAM MONIER-WILLIAMS GEORGE WICKHAM MONIER-WILLIAMS was born on 17th April 1881 at Wonersh Guildford and died on 20th May 1964. Son of a lawyer he was educated at Winchester and University College Oxford where he rowed in the college eight. In 1903 he gained First Class Honours in the Natural Science School and then proceeded to Freiburg University where he was awarded his Ph.D. in 1905. After two short periods in industry he was appointed in 1909 as inspector of foods and adviser in charge of a chemical laboratory in the Local Government Board. Here under Dr. G. S. Buchanan (afterwards Sir George) and his successor Dr. A. vCT. J. Macfadden Monier-Williams did the chemical work that formed the basis of Local Govern- ment Board Food Reports dealing with the changes produced in flour by bleaching the detection of certain preservatives in milk and cream the nature of the colouring matter of flour and the freezing-point of milk in relation to the detection of added water.At the beginning of the 1914-1918 war Monier-Williams went to France as a combatant officer but in 1915 he was transferred to the Special Brigade R.E. for anti-gas warfare duties. He became adjutant at the depot at Helfaut France where he remained for the rest of the war being awarded the Military Cross and the O.B.E. for his services. After demobilisation he returned to the Local Government Board from where he was transferred to the Ministry of Health which was established in 1919 and which took over many of the Board’s functions. During the next 20 years Monier-Williams wrote several important and authoritative reports issued by the Ministry of Health as Reports on Public Health and Medical Subjects.These included the solubility of glazes and enamels in cooking utensils benzoic acid in foods sulphur dioxide in foods effect on foods of fumigation with hydrocyanic acid antimony in enamelled hollowware aluminium in food and lead in food. He also published in The AnaZyst papers on milk records of individual cows measurement of hydrogen ion concentration boric acid in liquid eggs arsenic determination hydrogen electrode for use with meat pastes blowing of canned fruit determination of benzoic acid sugars in condensed milk the nitrate test for added water in milk and the determination of the true freezing-point of milk. He described an electrical apparatus for determining arsenic at a meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry.In 1922 he published “Power alcohol” and in 1949 his well known book on “Trace Elements in Food”. The latter soon attained world-wide recognition and although some of the methods of determination described have since been superseded the volume is likely to remain a standard work for a long time. ,4t the Ministry Monier-Williams was a recognised authority and until the formation of the Ministry of Food his views were available to manufacturers public analysts and local authorities on the likely legal interpretation of food orders and of the intentions behind such orders. His opinions were always expressed with caution as might be expected from his legal family background. During the last war Monier-Williams was a member of the Interdepartmental Committee on Food Standards and after his retirement he served for several years on the Food Standards Committee and its Metallic Contaminants Sub-committee.He served for three periods on the Council of the Royal Institute of Chemistry but it was to our Society he gave his greatest support his contributions to The Analyst extending from 1911 to 1961. He was a member of the Milk Products Committee the forerunner of the Analytical Methods Committee. He served for seven periods as Member of Council or Vice-president and was President in 1945-46. Somewhat modest and retiring he was always kind courteous and courtly; with increasing deafness he gradually withdrew from public life. He was no mean artist especially in water colours and exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. Other recreations included carpentry fishing and shooting. He was twice married and by his first wife who died young he had two daughters and by his second wife one son. J. R. NICHOLLS

August 19641 NOTICES 99 Notices PROPOSED STANDARD BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS THE Analytical Methods Committee has been asked to give publicity to the following appeal for assistance in a co-operative investigation. There has long been concern regarding the accuracy and precision of analytical methods for trace elements in biological materials. For some time standard geological and metallur- gical materials have been available for testing analytical methods but there have been no standard biological materials. ,4s a first step towards providing such a standard approximately 100 kg of leaves of kale (Brassica oleracea) have been ground up in a Perspex mill. The material has been passed through a 220-p sieve thoroughly mixed and tested for homogeneity. They are invited to determine as many elements as they can in the samples by any method at their disposal and to report the results to Dr.Bowen for comparison with those from other labora- tories. I t would help in the statistical correlation of results if four determinations were reported for each element sought together with a statement of the analytical method. Analysts may obtain 100-g samples of this material from Dr. H. J. M. Bowen.* * Address Until September 30th 1964 After September 30th 1964 Wantage Research Laboratory (A.E.R.E.) Wantage Berks.
