Report of special committee on cooperation with International Commission for the Study of Tidal Waves

The American Committee has representatives from the weather Bureau, the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the University of California, and Johns Hopkins University. It has a permanent function to collect all available information regarding unusual invasions of the shore by the sea. During the year a report was made to the International Commission regarding waves in southern California and also regarding sea‐movements accompanying the Panama earthquake of June 1934. At the initiative of the Navy Department, which required better understanding of the possibility of seismic sea‐waves accompanying an earthquake like that of Long Beach in 1933, the Chairman compiled a list of known tidal waves of history and it was published in the Bulletin of the International Commission as a contribution of the Committee.

Report of special committee on geophysical and geological study of continents

The Special Committee on Geophysical and Geological Study of Continents was established because of the Executive Committee's conviction that the cooperative and “simultaneous application of geophysics and geology in an attack upon the major problems of Earth composition and evolution cannot fail to lead to great advances in Earth science”—a restatement of the conviction of all closely in touch with geophysics that the intimate blending of physics and geology will induce as profound a broadening and advance in Earth science as was wrought in chemistry some two decades ago, when physics and chemistry were blended—to the transformation of both.The Committee has accepted the responsibility thus given it to aid in this new wedding of the sciences, with a deep appreciation of the opportunity offered, and with a full enthusiasm for the work to be undertaken. The problems to be attacked are of great magnitude and of great importance, and the successful execution of this attack obviously will call not only for close team‐work within the American Geophysical Union but also will call for a broad, cordial, and interesting cooperation with other units of the National Research Council, and especially with its Division of Geology and Geography and the component units thereof.

Final Report of Special Committee on Irrigation Hydraulics

The Committee was appointed June 30, 1922. It was discontinued December 31, 1933, at the request of the Committee itself. The reasons for this request were: (1) The Committee has been in existence for 11½ years and has contributed much to the advancement of the Engineering Profession during that period. (2) The Committee has been very active throughout its existence while funds for its work were available. It has generally held two meetings per year and each member has had definite assignments of work. (3) When funds were curtailed the work suffered to such an extent that it was thought the better policy would be for the Committee to suspend work altogether, resting on its record of accomplishments, rather than to continue a desultory existence.

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION

The mere enumeration of the reports of special committees and individual papers read at the recent meeting of the American Public Health Association at Buffalo, N. Y. (September 15-18), is sufficient evidence of the amount of scientific sanitary inquiry accomplished. Four addresses, sixteen reports of committees and fifty-three papers—seventy-three in all—constitute a formidable list, and when to these are added the discussions on these reports and papers, which are arranged in groups according to subjects, these discussions being a characteristic of this body, which it encourages and on which it justly prides itself, its reputation as a working body can not be questioned. The Association was actually in session eight hours on the first day, eight on the second, nine on the third and five on the fourth, a total of thirty, the general business occupying scarcely an hour each day. Giving thirty minutes to each report and limiting voluntary
