Electrophysics committee

No attempt will be made to point out outstanding advances for the past year. Progress, in general, is continuous and not in marked steps. For this reason, it has been the policy of this committee to keep the membership informed by means of lectures by noted physicists and research workers rather than by an annual catalog of steps in progress. Such lectures have taken place during the year on general and specialized subjects. It has also been our policy to arrange popular lectures or reviews on the latest status of electrophysics. These lectures have probably always been better attended than those on any other subject. In passing, it may not be out of place to mention that wonderful advance has been made in the past few years in the knowledge of the interior of the atom and the radiations or energy changes that occur from its very heart. It is suggested that the committee next year arrange a popular lecture covering the latest knowledge of the atom.
