Institute´s publication policy amended

Elsewhere in this issue is printed the report of the Publication Committee which inaugurates several definite changes from the policy heretofore followed in the publication of the Journal and the Transactions. It has been apparent for several years that the constant growth of Institute activities and the increasing number of papers presented at our conventions would result in an accumulation of material for publication too great for the space limitations of a monthly Journal of reasonable size. This condition has been reached during the present year. With only two more monthly numbers available this year, there remain several hundred pages of convention papers and discussions yet unpublished, as well as a large number of acceptable contributions to the Journal. It therefore became imperative for the Publication Committee to take some action to relieve the situation, and at its first meeting this year it promulgated the policy and rules outlined in its Report, on this page.
