American Association for the Advancement of Science: Atlantic City Meeting

Abstract

THE ninety-ninth meeting of the Association was held in Atlantic City, N.J., on December 28-January 2, where one meeting had been held previously, namely, in 1932. This was to many of the members a strange setting for a great scientific assembly with the wide board-walk winding along close by the breakers of the Atlantic, and lined on the other side by shops in endless variety over which tower the great hotels, the comforts and service of which have made Atlantic City famous. One found no great university buildings, no richly stored museums, no famous research laboratories such as usually shelter the sessions and stimulate the activities of Association meetings. But all pronounced the meeting a success; the weather was mild, the sea beautiful, the attendance good, and the facilities adequate to serve well all needs of the occasion.
