Abstract :
To the Board of Directors: The general views of the chairman of the committee will be found in the editorial entitled Relationship between Physics and Electrical Engineering, in the J OURNAL for February, 1927. This editorial may be considered as part of this report. During the year, some of the members of the committee volunteered to watch new developments in the following topics: Ferro-magnetism, theory of mapping of fields, short-time phenomena, high-voltage research, insulation and dielectrics (solid, liquid, and gaseous), arcs and discharges, short-wave propagation, atomic physics, spectroscopy, quantum theory, and surges. This list will give an idea of the scope of interest in electrophysics. Several manuscripts submitted to the Institute were read and passed upon by the committee.
