Va. Metanomski for the 50th anniversary celebration at the 221st National Meeting of ACS in San Diego, CA, April 2001.  \nAbout the author:  \nW. Val Metanomski received his B.Sc.(Eng.) degree in chemical engineering from the University of London, England, in 1952, and M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, Canada, in chemical engineering (1960) and polymer chemistry (1964), respectively. He is currently a Senior Scientific Information Analyst in Editorial Operations of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) . Since joining CAS in 1964, he has been involved in abstracting, indexing, and naming, especially of polymers, in defining technical content of CAS publications and services, and in a variety of editorial projects.  \nHe has presented and published papers on oxidation-reduction polymers, abstracting, indexing, chemical nomenclature, and chemical information retrieval, some with a definite historical slant.  \nHe has been active in the ACS Division of Chemical Information (CINF), was its chairman in 1987, and received their Meritorious Service Award in 1992 for service to the Division and the profession. For their 50th anniversary, he compiled a booklet on \"50 Years of Chemical Information in the American Chemical Society, 1943-1993\".  \nHe has participated in the activities of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as a member of their Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature (1987-1999). He currently serves as the Secretary of their Interdivisional Committee on Nomenclature and Symbols (IDCNS) . He edited the IUPAC \"Compendium of Macromolecular Nomenclature\"(1991) and coauthored a guide to IUPAC recommendations, \"Principles of Chemical Nomenclature\" (1998) .  \nBetween 1989 and 1999 he chaired the Nomenclature Committee of the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY) . In 1991, he initiated the publication of a regular column \"Macromolecular Nomenclature Note\" in Polymer Preprints. He contributed a chapter on \"Nomenclature\" to Wiley's \"Polymer Handbook\" (4th ed. , 1999) . He received the POLY Distinguished Service Award in 1995.  \nVal currently serves as POLY Historian. In that capacity he compiled a list of POLY milestones for the whole period of POLY existence, which was displayed as a poster at the POLY Millennial 2000 meeting. This information will also be displayed at the 221st ACS National Meeting held in San Diego, CA in April 2001.  \nPreface  \nIn 1946, several ACS Divisions interested in the field of polymers formed a High Polymer Forum, at which 162 papers werepresented in 27 sessions between 1946 and 1949. This high level of activity led to the formation in 1950 of the Division of Polymer Chemistry (initially the Division of High Polymer Chemistry), with Carl S. Marvel as chairman and Herman F. Mark as secretary-treasurer.  \nAs was stated in its bylaws, the object of the Division was to advance knowledge and understanding of the processes of polymerization and of the chemical constitution and chemical and physical properties of the polymeric materials, and to promote basic research in these fields.  \nIn 1974, the Division reviewed its almost 25-year history at a special symposium at the 168th ACS National Meeting in Atlantic City. It was organized by the then POLY chairman, Otto Vogl, and featured remarks and comments by Herman F. Mark, Carl S. Marvel, William J. Bailey, and Charles G. Overberger, all past POLY chairmen. In 1976, these papers were collected by Robert Ulrich and published as Volume 1 of the \"Contemporary Topics in Polymer Science: Macromolecular Science-Retrospect and Prospect\". Ulrich preceded the individual contributions by his short history of the Division, highlighting the growth of the Division, its publication and educational activities, its responsiveness to members' needs and to social and environmental problems, and the beginning of the POLY Division's involvement on the international scene.  \nIn 1991, the Di","cbCaipmME5T7hhKT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipmME5T7hhKT","pdf",1093812,49,"English","# Preface\n## Origins: High Polymer Forum to POLY formation\n## By-laws and division purpose\n## 25-year history review and publication\n## 40th anniversary historical account (1951-1991)\n## 50th anniversary: review of 1991-2001\n## Acknowledgment and dedication","[{\"question\":\"Who prepared this POLY history account and for which event?\",\"answer\":\"W.
