Abstract
IN 1939 a Club for Research on Ageing was established. This actually represents a team of medical and scientific research workers for study and research on ageing, and is not a society in the ordinary sense of the word. There are branches of the Club in Great Britain, the United States, France, the Argentine, and also members in Denmark and Switzerland. A branch in Sweden is in process of formation. The governing bodies of the branches are as follows-Great Britain: Prof. G. R., Cameron, Prof. E. C. Dodds, Sir Robert Robinson (chairman), Lady Robinson (hon. treasurer), Prof. M. J. Stewart, Dr. V. Korenchevsky (hon. secretary) ; United States: Prof. W. de B. MacNider (chairman), Dr. E. J. Stieglitz (secretary) ; with executive committee, Prof. E. V. Cowdry (chairman), Prof. A. B. Hastings and Prof. H. S. Simms ; the Argentine: Prof. B. H. Houssay (chairman) and Dr. E. E. Krapf (hon. secretary) ; France: Prof. R. Courrier (hon. secretary).
