Abstract
AS the result of an executive order issued by President Wilson on May 11, 1918, the temporary arrangement inaugurated two years previously has acquired permanence as the National Research Council of the United States. The history of this organisation is instructive in showing that in time of national stress the Governmental authorities appreciate the necessity for active co-operation from scientific bodies or individuals who have in peace conditions received but little recognition or support.
