Abstract
We need to remind ourselves that the American Geophysical Union serves two separate but related functions. It is a scientific society serving geophysics in the United States and, increasingly, throughout the world. Secondly, the Council of AGU is the U. S. National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG).For most of us the relationship to AGU, the scientific society, is the more familiar one through the publications, committee activities, and national and regional meetings. But once every three or four years hundreds of us find good reason and financial support to attend meetings of our international counterpart, the IUGG. Such a General Assembly was held in Switzerland from September 25 to October 7, 1967, and I would like to share with you some highlights and reflections. More complete reports will appear in the Transactions and in other places.
