Abstract
Francis Birch, Sturgis‐Hooper Professor of Geology of Harvard University, has been named at the Executive Committee meeting on November 14, 1959, as the Twenty‐Second William Bowie Medalist in recognition of his outstanding work in many phases of geophysics. The award will be made at the time of the Forty‐First Annual Meeting of AGU in Washington, D. C., next April.Last‐minute attention is called to the previous announcements in the Transactions concerning the Forty‐First Annual Meeting to be held in Washington, D. C., April 27–30, 1960. Note that earlier calls to this meeting indicated the beginning date as April 28, but it now appears that sessions in general will begin on Wednesday, the 27th. Two programs definitely planned to start on the 27th are: (1) the program on Solar Upper Atmosphere Relations, which will be part of the National Academy of Sciences program, held jointly with the IGY group, and (2) the sessions in Meteorology, being held jointly with the American Meteorological Society. Because of the magnitude of the meeting in prospect, it appears that other programs will also be held on the 27th. It is anticipated that programs will be mailed to all members about April 10.
