There is no obligation to award either medal in a specific year, however, at the 1972 Council Meeting, it was
decreed that both medals should not be awarded at the same meeting. It was stipulated at that time that previous
recipients for the Barringer Medal could and should be considered candidates for the Keyes Medal.

The Awards Committee is composed of the two most recent Past-Presidents and current President with the first of
the Past Presidents as Chairman. The decision of the Committee should be forwarded to the Secretary by November
preceding the meeting because the medals require considerable time for preparation.

The Chairman of the Awards Committee makes the presentation at the annual banquet. He must send a copy of the
citation (ready for the printer) and a recent photograph of the recipient indicating to whom the letter should
be returned if necessary
