Abstract
INDUSTRY now employs more than forty percent of the physicists in the United States: at least equaling and probably outranking educational institutions as principal users of the skills and talents of those trained in the science of physics. Industry's growing stake in the future of physics has long been recognized by many of the nation's large corporations, particularly those in which physicists have held high administrative posts. During the mid-thirties, early in the history of the American Institute of Physics, several individual firms voluntarily began contributing to the support of organized physics by affiliating themselves informally with the Institute. Since 1946 the companies involved have had formal membership status in the AIP—being known as Associates (now Corporate Associates) of the Institute. A current list of the Corporate Associates appears on page 37 of this issue.
