Abstract :
THE chairman of the Electrochemistry and Electrometallurgy Committee for the year 1917–1918 suggested to the Board of Directors of the American Electrochemical Society that it should approach the A. I. E. E. with the idea of forming a joint committee to consider matters that were of common interest to the two societies. Such a committee could consider papers which might be of importance to both societies, could bring to each society´s attention matters of common interest and make arrangements for occasional joint meetings. The result was that the Board of the American Electrochemical Society appointed Messrs. Fink, Parmelee and Schluederberg “to cooperate with” this Committee.
