Transients and trends

A NEW MAGAZINE IS BORN. The Board of Directors, meeting at the Summer General Meeting in Toronto, made several basic decisions concerning our publications in accepting a report of the Editorial Policy Committee, our ad hoc group established in November by the Merger Committee. This report recommended certain changes in publications deemed necessary by the charapter of our merged society, and including the establishment of a new IEEE magazine in January 1964. This monthly periodical, to provide technical coverage of the field for all grades of members from Fellow to Associate, is to be known as the IEEE SPECTRUM.
