In the tragic death of Dr. J. L. Giddings on December 9, 1964 from a heart attack following an automobile accident, Arctic archaeology has lost one of its ablest, most brilliant and most productive workers. Born in Caldwell, Texas, April 10, 1909, Louis Giddings studied at Rice University, received his B.S. degree at the University of Alaska in 1932, M.A. at the University of Arizona, 1941, and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1951. From 1932 to 1937 he worked as an engineer for the U.S. Smelting and Refining Company. From 1938 to 1950 he was on the staff of the University of Alaska, progressing from Research Associate to Associate Professor of Anthropology. Between 1943 and 1946, however, he was on active duty as a Navy Lieutenant in the Pacific Area. In 1950 he became Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Assistant Curator of the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania. In 1956 he was appointed Associate Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Haffenreffer Museum, Brown University, becoming Professor in 1959. Louis Giddings was one of the first Associates of the Arctic Institute elected to Fellowship, and he received one of the Institute's first research grants. The Arctic Institute may well take pride in the fact that it was able to support Giddings' 1948 and 1949 excavations at Cape Denbigh, Alaska, which opened entirely new vistas in Arctic archaeology, and that it contributed to the support of his later and equally important work on the Arctic coast. An expert in dendrochronology, Giddings was the first to apply this technique in the Arctic. Working with samples from living trees and driftwood from old Eskimo village sites on the Kobuk, he established a tree-ring chronology for the last 1,000 years of Eskimo culture. Giddings' work at Cape Denbigh was in the opposite direction - it uncovered the roots of Eskimo culture. His 4,500 to 5,000 year old Denbigh Flint Complex was unlike anything previously known in the Arctic. It was a microlithic assemblage with close affinities with the Old World Mesolithic, and it represented a stage of culture that developed into Eskimo. Giddings' later work around Kotzebue Sound and at Onion Portage in the interior produced equally spectacular results. At Cape Krusenstern a long succession of old beach ridges revealed a remarkable record of human occupation extending from the present back to at least 4,000 B.C. The 114 beaches contained materials of the Denbigh Flint complex and of 11 other culture stages. Three of these were new, the Old Whaling culture, 1,000 years later than Denbigh, and Palisades I and II, 1,000 or more years older. The deep, stratified Onion Portage site on the middle Kobuk, discovered by Giddings in 1961, is without doubt the most important archaeological site within the Arctic. Covering some 20 acres and reaching a depth of 18 feet, it has over 30 distinct occupation levels containing in vertical sequence the hearths and artifacts of most of the cultures represented on the Krusenstern beaches, as well as others known heretofore only from undated, unstratified surface sites in the interior. Giddings has described his work at these and many other Arctic sites in more than 50 papers and monographs, the last of which, his monumental work, The Archeology of Cape Denbigh, was published by Brown University only a few months before his death. Louis Giddings is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Elizabeth Warner, and their three children, Louis Jr., Ann, and Russell. To those who cherished the friendship of this remarkably intelligent, vital and warm-hearted man, his untimely death still seems unreal. He will be sorely missed, but he has left his mark large and clear in that field of Arctic research in which he was the dominant figure.

The Clifford G. Grulee Award was created by the Executive Board in honor of Dr. Grulee upon his retirement as Executive Secretary in 1951. The Award is made for outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the presentation to the recipient is a feature of the annual business meeting. The Award consists of a handsome gold medal bearing the insignia of the Academy and the inscription "Clifford G. Grulee Award" on the face of the medal, and on the obverse side the name of the recipient with the inscription "For outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics" (illustration in Pediatrics, 17:576, 1956). Presentation of the Grulee Award for 1956 was made to Dr. Philip S. Barba of Philadelphia by Dr. Grulee who remarked: "I am sure that all of you know Dr. Barba, if not personally, at least by reputation. He has long been an untiring and devoted worker for the American Academy of Pediatrics and its objectives. "Phil Barba was born in Philadelphia about 61 years ago. As a young man he left his native city long enough to acquire a college education at Princeton University, but he returned to Philadelphia to study medicine and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1923. Dr. Barba has always lived in Philadelphia where he has had a busy practice and yet found time to take part in many civic health projects, to teach medical students and residents, and to work diligently for the Academy. "Phil Barba has served as Director of the Department of Pediatrics at Germantown Hospital; Chief of Pediatrics at Rexborough Memorial Hospital; attending pediatrician to St. Christopher's Hospital; Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Temple University School of Medicine and also as Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine. More recently he has become the Director of the Family Health Advisor Service at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
