AMERICAN ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY FALL MEETING AT PRINCETON The August bulletin of the Society contained the following notice: The officials of Princeton, and our local members, headed by Professor Northrup, have given us a most cordial invitation and we are assured of a warm welcome. There are fine physical and chemical laboratories to be seen, and fine fellows to get better acquainted with, and a real, rich scientific program. The date is September 30 ton October 2, 1918, immediately following the Chemical Exposition in New York. Programs will go out with the September bulletin. If you have never visited Princeton, now is your best chance; if you have, you do not have to be urged to go again. AMERICAN ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY The American Electrochemical Society has passed the following resolutions concerning alien enemy members : WHEREAS, A communication has been submitted to the Board of Directors bearing the signature of sixteen members, in accord: ance with Paragraph 5 , Article I11 of the Constitution, requesting “that all members of the Society who are subjects of Germany or Austria be dismissed, on the ground that they are opposed to the United States of America in its war for the preservation of civilization, and are consequently enemies of the majority of the members of our Society,” therefore be i t Resolved, That it is the sense of this Board that all members of the Society who are enemy aliens and who are in sympathy with the enemies of the United States of America in the present war should be dismissed from membership on the grounds above set forth, and Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to send a copy of this Resolution to all such members requesting that they either
appear in person a t the meeting of the Board of Directors to be held at the Niagara Club, Niagara Falls, N. Y.,Saturday, August 24, 1918, a t 11.00A.M., or file answer by letter stating whether or not they support the aims and ideals of the United States of America in the present conflict.
GENERAL. SYMPOSIUM ON THE CHEMISTRY OF DYESTUFFS At the Cleveland Meeting of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY there will be held in connection with the Division of Industrial Chemists and Chemical Engineers a symposium on the chemistry of dyestuffs, in all its phases, including the use, application, and manufacture. This symposium will be held on Tuesday, September 10, a t 2 P.M., and will.be continued to Wednesday morning. Successful establishment of a complete dyestuff industry in America together with its continuous development is so fundamentally related to the chemistry of the subject that all interested in this industry must try to develop to the fullest possible extent every phase of the chemistry of dyestuffs. The plan is that out of this symposium will grow regular sectional meetings on dyestuffs and we bespeak the cooperation of everyone interested in dyestuffs. While every chemist in this industry has been busy with development and problems occasioned by the abnormal conditions of the war, yet we feel sure that now is the time to start laying emphasis on the chemistry of dyestuffs, the very backbone of the industry. We ask all interested to cooperate by attending this symposium. THECALCOCHEMICAL COWPANY R. NORRIS SHREW BOUNDBROOK,N.
