Abstract :
ON THE LAST DAY of the 1959 Winter General Meeting, the Board of Directors held its customary midyear meeting. The agenda was, like the whole Winter Meeting program, heavy with items postponed because of the cancellation of the Fall General Meeting, in October 1958. The Board met last in August 1958 at the Pacific General Meeting in Sacramento, Calif. Attendance was 100%, plus several newly nominated Vice-Presidents who were available and interested in starting their indoctrination. The agenda covered many important routine matters characteristic of all Board meetings. Several actions, however, have special significance for all members.
