Abstract
THE Faraday Society will continue its normal activities so far as possible during the war. Roughly 60 per cent of the members are normally resident in the United Kingdom, and 40 per cent overseas, including 8 per cent resident in German territories. The Society's services to its members consist mainly in the regular publication of the Transactions and in the provision twice yearly of meetings of such importance that it is worth while coming from all parts of the world to attend. This latter activity must obviously be suspended for the time being, but it may be possible to organize ‘general discussion’ in writing, and to publish the final record. The papers which were to have been discussed in Cambridge during September 25–27 will be published early in 1940, and it can then be seen whether a written ‘discussion’ is practicable and useful. The Transactions will appear regularly every month and the policy of publishing all papers as soon as they have been refereed and accepted will be continued. It is hoped, moreover, that the flow of papers from overseas will continue to increase. It should be emphasized that, though the Transactions are printed in English, the Society will, if desired, bear the cost of translating any accepted paper which may be written in another language. The usual arrangements for exchange of membership with the Electrochemical Society, the Nederlandsche Chemische Vereeniging and the Société do Chimie Physique will be continued for 1940.
