Abstract
THE new building of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council (Fig. i) was dedicated on April 28, in the presence of a large and representative assembly. Owing to repeated delays in the construction of the building, due to strikes and other causes beyond the control of the building committee, the date of its completion could not be certainly fixed in advance. For this reason the National Academy was forced to give up its intention to invite European and other academies and societies to be represented at the opening ceremonies.
