Lectureship Trust FundsLandauer Memorial LectureshipThe Landauer Memorial Lectureship was instituted in Chicago in 1971 under the auspicesof Northwestern University in honor of Dr. Robert S. Landauer, a prominent radiological physicistand teacher for many years in the Chicago area. This award was funded initially by his students,friends, and family. In 1973, the Landauer Lectureship was established and sponsored by R.S.Landauer, Jr. and Co., now known as Landauer, Inc. The purpose is to honor prominent individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of radiation research and protection.The recipient of the Landauer Lecture award will be joining a group of distinguished individuals who have been so honored in the past. A large plaque is displayed at the corporateheadquarters of Landauer, Inc. commemorating all of the recipients of this award.Dade W. Moeller Lectureship“When you are near a fountain of knowledge, do everything possible to get thoroughly soaked.”– Dr. Dade W. MoellerSince 2009, Dade Moeller & Associates, Inc. (“Dade Moeller”) has bequeathed funds tothe Health Physics Society to maintain the Dade Moeller Fund. The Fund has been establishedto advance Dr. Moeller’s deeply held belief that continued education, sharing of knowledge, exposure to new ideas, and strong professional relationships are integral to an individual’s successin his or her career. The Fund sponsors the Dade Moeller Lectureship and Scholarship Awards.The Lectureship Award enables distinguished experts to share their knowledge with our membership at society meetings.Dr. Moeller (1927-2011) was very active in the Society, serving as New England ChapterPresident in 1966 and national President in 1971-1972. He served on and chaired many committees for the NRC, EPA, NCRP, ICRP, NAS, and AAEES. He was a consultant to the WHO for15 years, and following 16 years on the NRC’s Congressionally-appointed Advisory Committeeon Reactor Safeguards became in 1988 the founding Chairman of the agency’s Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste, on which he served for 5 years.Dr. Moeller is remembered for his practicality, humility, thoughtfulness, gentle nature, generosity, and humor. Despite his multitude of awards and accomplishments including induction inthe National Academy of Engineering, he remained genuinely humble, always able to explaincomplex technical issues with uncanny clarity and simplicity. He was a leader in every sense ofthe word, a skilled mentor to so many, and an inspiration to the thousands of students, employees, and colleagues who knew him. He was one of those rare giants in our profession with awork ethic and moral compass worthy for all of us to emulate.G. William Morgan LectureshipWhen G. William Morgan died in 1984, he bequeathed a substantial fund to the HealthPhysics Society. The will requires that the fund’s interest be used to have internationally knownexperts present papers at the Society’s meetings. Michael C. O’Riordan of the United Kingdom’sNational Radiation Protection Board was the first international expert to be supported by theSociety through the Morgan Fund. O’Riordan’s presentation “Radon in Albion” was part of theIndoor Radon Session at the 1989 Albuquerque meeting.G. William Morgan was a Charter member of the Society and during the Society’s earlyyears a very active member. Bill began his health physics career at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as part of the Manhattan Project. He later joined the Atomic Energy Commission and wasinstrumental in the development of the initial regulations that became part of 10 CFR Part 20.He was a great champion of education and helped establish the AEC Health Physics FellowshipProgram. Bill later became very successful in the real estate business, but always retained hisinterest in the health physics profession. The Society’s Presidents Emeritus Committee has responsibility for the selection of the international experts who will be supported by the G. WilliamMorgan Trust Fund.12
