George Gaylord Simpson, Alexander Agassis Professor of Vertebrate Paleontology, was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday. He is the first man to have received the award twice.
In a meeting of the Academy on, Tuesday, George B. Kistiakowsky, Abbott and James Lawrence Professor of Chemistry, was elected vice-president, and James Gilbert Baker, research associate of the Harvard College Observatory, was elected a new member.
The Elliot Medal, given in recognition of published works in zoology or paleontology, was presented to Simpson for his book, "Principles of Animal Taxonomy," published in 1961 by the Columbia University Press. The book sets forth principles and procedures for categorizing the thousands of distinct organisms, both living and fossil, whose identities, similarities, and other biological relationships are important to the progress of biology. He was awarded his first Elliot Medal for "Tempo and Mode in Evolution."
Kistiakowsky, who will assume his post as vice-president on July 1, will serve for four years. Baker was among the 35 new members and six foreign associates elected at the meeting on Tuesday.
