New guidance

Since the day of the first Administrative Committe meeting in 1953, over 2000 papers have been processed for possible publication in this Transactions, not including the numerous technical correspondence items, and there have been 45 issues of the Transactions. An enormous amount of much appreciated support and effort has been given by a vast number of reviewers and the committee members. The work involved to create each issue has been considerable, but it has been rewarded with the formation of acquaintances throughout the world and with a sense of accomplishment that does not always emerge from professional society activities. Fourteen years have also passed and at last, for the first time, starting with the next issue, there will be new guidance for this Transactions: a new editor, new associate editors, and a Group Administrative Committee without one of the original committee members. The group is indeed fortunate in being able to obtain the services of Prof. John B. Lewis as the new editor.
