Random Notes From the Secretariat

Extract

Benjamin Franklin says "three moves are as bad as a fire". We have now accomplished two moves and hope we won't have the fire in which case our work will be more dis organized than it is now. As the work of the Congress has increased, we have been in need of .more and more space. We have now, thanks to our colleague Henri Gaudefroy, Director of the Ecole Polytechnique, and the Ecole Polytechnique board, two very commodious rooms in their new eleven million dollar building. We also have an attractive room in the Chemistry Building at McGill, thanks to Herbert Tate, Professor Winkler (Chairman of the Chemistry Department),and the McGill administration and governors.
