Editorial May,1964

It is natural to pause, after a year as editor of these transactions, and to try to sum up what has happened, note any trends that seem to be indicated, and make some guess as to the future. In some cases, an observation time of one year is not sufficient to determine a trend. For example, the growth of the transactions as noted by the previous editor, D. D. King, in January 1963, seems to have leveled off, if one compares the 563 pages of 1963 to the 624 pages of 1962. However, a similar drop occurred in 1961 with 596 pages compared with 692 for 1960.
