Recently, there has been considerable agitation in the American Physical Society for greater participation in the affairs of the Society by physicists in industry. At the suggestion of the Council of the Society there is given here a brief review of the discussion of the past few months. There follows first a note by Dr. Karl K. Darrow, Secretary of the Society, giving the background of this discussion and explaining the Council's attitude regarding the formation of divisions within the Society. Then follow excerpts from letters written by members of the Society which indicate the general trend of the discussion. Since the letters were not sent in for publication no names are attached to the excerpts. If space permits additional comments will be printed as they are received.—The Editor.
