ABSTRACT
Annual Meeting—National Research Council. High light of the year's activities was the annual meeting of the National Research Council (NRC) which followed the pattern of the highly successful annual meeting of the previous year. Under this plan all eight divisions of the National Research Council met in three plenary sessions. At the first of these sessions presentations were made on the following topics of broad general interest:
Nature and Conduct of Fellowship Programs in Science, discussed by Warren Weaver.
U. S. Science in Foreign Aid, discussed by George Harrar.
Means and Patterns for the Support of Scientific Research, discussed by Alan Waterman.
The Place of Behavioral Science in the National Research Council, discussed by Clyde Kluckholn and Don Marquis.
Annual Meeting—Division of Biology and Agriculture, Burr Steinbach, Chairman. All 34 of the member scientific societies had representatives present. For the benefit of new representatives, and for the orientation of others, Steinbach outlined the function of the members and the relationship of their societies to the over-all National Academy—National Research Council structure.
