Morton, Dr. Harold A. Professorship in Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering
The Dr. Harold A. Morton Professorship in Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering was established in 1987 with a $1 million gift from Mrs. Harold A. Morton in memory of her husband. The professorship provides a permanent distinguished professorship, as well as financial resources to bring visiting scholars to the University. The Morton professorship enables scientists to assume academic residencies with interaction among faculty, students, and members of the scientific and business communities. Through exposure to the research interests of the Morton professor, University of Akron students and scientists are stimulated in their current research and challenged to consider other areas of potential scientific discovery.
