Journal Award/William F. Meggers Award
Since 1960, a single article has been selected each year from
the Journal for citation as the most outstanding. This award was initiated
through courtesy of SPEX Industries, Inc. The award included a cash honorarium.
In 1968, the name of the Journal Award was changed in order to commemorate
outstanding spectroscopists William F. Meggers. In 1978, the sponsorship of the
Meggers Award was transferred from SPEX Industries to the Spectroscopy Society
of Pittsburgh. In 1991, the award was turned over to the Leco Corporation. The
