Abstract
DURHAM (NEW HAMPSHIRE) MEETING
SINCE 1931 the American Association for the Advancement of Science has held two meetings each year, the annual meeting during the Christmas holiday week and a summer meeting, usually in June. The large annual meetings are held in cities able to provide accommodation for several thousand men of science and about sixty rooms for holding scientific sessions. The summer meetings are usually held in smaller cities offering exceptional attractions. In June 1938, the Association met in Ottawa, Canada. This year it held its meeting in Durham, New Hampshire, during June 23–27, in connexion with the celebration of the seventy–fifth anniversary of the founding of the University of New Hampshire. It will strike British readers as curious that the seventy–fifth anniversary of the founding of a university should be the occasion for a celebration. However, in September the Association will participate in the symposia organized by the University of Chicago in celebration of its fiftieth anniversary.
