Abstract
A SPECIAL meeting of the Council of the Physical Society was held on Friday, September 22, to discuss the Society's activities in the immediate future. It was decided that the science meetings, the annual exhibition of scientific instruments and apparatus and the annual competition in craftsmanship and draughtsmanship should be suspended for the present, but that the publication of the Proceedings should be continued as usual. Volume 6 of the Society's annual “Reports on Progress in Physics” is now in the printers’ hands, and it is hoped that this volume will be issued at the usual time—the end of the present year. The Council recently had under consideration a project to hold local meetings of the members of the teaching and research staffs of the physics and related departments of a number of the provincial universities and university colleges; normally two such meetings would have been held in each session in the physics departments of two of the universities concerned. The officers and Council hope that, even though this scheme may not be carried out in its entirety, it may still be possible for local groups to hold meetings of an informal type under the auspices of the Society. For the present, the business of the Society will be carried on at its office at 1 Lowther Gardens, Exhibition Road, London, S.W.7 (Telephone: Kensington 0048); all communications and the MSS. of papers submitted for publication by the Society should be sent to the honorary secretaries at that address.
