AATCC named the Millson Award for Invention for Henry E. Millson, a noted inventor and previous head of dyes research for American Cyanamid. Millson, the 1958 recipient of AATCC's Olney Medal for outstanding achievement in textile chemistry, endowed the Millson Award in 1979 with the stipulation that he never be considered a candidate.
After agreeing to that condition, the Association promptly named the award in his honor. The Millson Award is given for an invention that is recognizable as an innovation based on its merits and its impact on the U.S. textile, fiber, polymer, and medical industries.
