The 1965 Cryogenic Engineering Conference, in presenting the papers
of its eleventh annual meeting takes this opportunity to gratefuIly
acknowledge the assistance of Rice University and, in particular,
R. Kobayashi and his staff for serving as hosts for this
conference. This meeting, because of its proximity to the NASA
Manned Spacecraft Center, has recognized the impact of the space
age on the cryogenic field and has, there fore, attempted to
emphasize this aspect of cryogenics to a greater degree than in
past conferences. The highlight of this conference has been the
presentation of the highest Cryogenic Engineering Conference
award-The Samuel C. CoIlins Award-to its first recipient, Dr.
Samuel C. Collins. This award, set up in his name, has recognized
the outstanding contributions that Dr. S. C. CoIlins, retired
Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, has made in the field of helium liquefaction. His
significant advances in various phases of cryogenics have been
recognized inter nationaIly by numerous organizations. High on this
list has been the tribute which was bestowed on hirn by the
Kamerlingh-Onnes Laboratory in Leiden in awarding hirn the first
Kamerlingh-Onnes gold medal to an American in 1958. The Cryogenic
Engineering Conference, in addition to recognizing his pioneering
work in helium liquefaction by the presentation of the Samuel C.
Collins Award, also dedicates this volume of the Advances in
Cryogenic Engineering to hirn."
