The Cedric Hassall Scholarship
The Cedric Hassall Prize was awarded in the past to a student in Chemistry
who in the opinion of the Examiners, has shown the best performance in the
Examinations associated with the first year of Advanced Chemistry Courses.
The prize was recently upgraded to a Scholarship to be awarded to a final
year student who is currently majoring in Chemistry and satisfies the above
criteria.
The prize/scholarship is named in honour of
Professor Cedric Hassall, the first
Professor of Chemistry at the University and is intended to foster and
encourage students to achieve standards of excellence which Professor
Hassall insisted should be the hallmark of students pursuing courses
in Chemistry. The prize/scholarship was established largely through
the instrumentality of Professor Gerald Lalor during his tenure as
Head of Deartment, and was first awarded in 1971.

The L.J. Haynes Award
Professor Leonard J. Haynes joined the staff of the Chemistry
Department, UCWI in 1956. A Natural Products Chemist, he was instrumental
in the launching of the Mona Symposium
on Natural Products, in 1966.
He served the Department as Professor, carrying out research and
lecturing in Organic Chemistry and was the second Head of Department,
leaving in 1968. Professor Haynes' contribution to the University
was particularly significant.
The award, named in his honour, is presented to the student with
the best academic performance in the Introductory Level Chemistry
courses, C 10J, C 10K and is proceeding to Part II courses in Chemistry.
In 2006, the award was presented to Haile Dennis.
The Garfield Sadler Award
Garfield Sadler, graduated from the Department of Chemistry
with a Special Degree in Chemistry in 1980. He continued in the
Department pursuing a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry, under the
supervision of Professor Tara Dasgupta. Garfield demonstrated
excellence in the study of Reaction Mechanisms and three years
later graduated with a PhD.
In 1983, Dr Sadler joined the staff of the Department as a Lecturer
of Inorganic Chemistry. this marked the start of a vibrant career in
teaching and research. His contribution however to the development
of Chemistry was very short lived as he died tragically in 1991.
The Garfield Sadler Award, which is a tribute to the life and work
of Garfield Sadler, is made to the student with the best academic
performance in eight(8) credits of the following Part II courses of the
Undergraduate Chemistry Degree Programme; C 21J, C 31J, C 23J, C 33J.
In 2006, the award was presented to Daynea Wallock.
