... from the TREASURER WILLIAM G KESSEL

1 he financial status of our Division is excellent, as this statement reveals. This situation reflects the excellent cooperation and diligent work of the memhers, officers, and committees; the Division Affiliates; and the Editorial Board and Editor of the ~ JOURNALO F C ~ M I C AEDUCATION. Recently your Executive Board decided that the interest and dividends from both the Division and the JOURNAL accounts should be used to improve and expand our program of chemical education. If you have constructive ideas you would like to see incorporated in the Division operations, please send them to Dr.

Robert Brasted, Division chairman, and indicate yaur area of interest and yaur willingness to participate. The major problems of the Treasurer result from the failure of members and Affiliates to notify his office of changes of address and status. All mailings are made by the Treasurer and the Divkion Directory is made up by him; it is quite frustrating to have mail returned marked "no such address" or "moved, left no address." Please notify W. G. Kessel, Treasurer (Department of Chemistry, Indiana State College, Terre Haute, Indiana) of address changes or errors in the new 1965 Directory as soon as possible.
