Departmental Prizes
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.

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 2001, the award was presented to Nicola Teneisha Brown.
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 2001, the award was presented to Nikeisha Bromley.
