D. Williams . Dr. Don England, distinguished professor of organic chemistry, had three students- Jon Ashley , Scott Harris, and Malcolm Howell - involved in synthesizing a new group of analgesic compounds that should be neither toxic nor addictive. Dr. Edmond .W. Wilson, Jr. , professor of physical chemistry, had students involved in the biochemistry of chromium and construction of computerized laboratory equipment. Drs. James Mackey and Lambert Murray, profes sor of physics, submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation for funds to inv~lve students in research. Dr. Mike Smith, a Harding graduate, senior staff NMR investigator of the Henry Ford Hospital , conducted the second annual Coons-Farrar endowed Medical Science Seminar, speaking on "Applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to Biochemistry and Medicine: A Window to the Cell." Dr. England was the first recipient of the Dr . Robert Roy and Dr. Callie Mae Coons Endowed Chair in Biomedical Sciences at Harding University for 1985-90. This endowed chair was established by alumnus Irma Coons Terpenning of Frenchtown, N .J. , in honor of her parents who taught chemistry and nutrition at Harding in the 1920's and 30's. Dr. Joseph E. Pryor and Dr. England were active in the leadership of Alpha Chi , a national honor scholarship society. Both attended the 1985 national convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in March of 1985 and had responsibility for hosting the 1986 Region II convention on campus April 3-5. Dr. Pryor served as the national executive director and Dr. England served as president of Region II. At the 1985 convention, Region VI announced the establishment of the "Joseph E. Pryor Award for Excellence" to be presented annually to an outstanding student in Region VI. In April, Dr. Pryor served York College as a consultant on a Title III grant for strengthening their general education physical science course. In June , Dr. Pryor and his wife, Bessie Mae, visited Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Hawaii, viewing Mt. Fuji, the great wall of China, the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the active volcano Kilauea. J1t
