The Priestley Medal was awarded to Francis P. Garvan
In 1929, the Priestley Medal was awarded to Francis P. Garvan by the American Chemical Society “to recognize distinguished services to chemistry,” the Society’s most prestigious award.
Garvan is the only non-scientist to receive the Priestley Medal. Mabel Garvan continued to be involved with the Garvan-Olin Medal for thirty years after her husband’s death in 1971.
