120 Resolutions Passed by the Council 



progress in all fields of science this organization has become a most important agency 

 in changing the picture of science in the public mind, and is performing a distinctive 

 service to science and the public. 



The services of this specially trained group of men and women are unique in the 

 history of journalism and of popular education. Their efforts in bringing before the 

 attention of the world the proceedings of the annual summer and winter meetings of 

 the American Association for the Advancement of Science, as well as of the proceed- 

 ings of other scientific bodies, have proved not only of great value to the public but 

 also to the scientists themselves individually and collectively. 



The National Association of Science Writers is keenly aware of the importance of 

 Science as the greatest potential force for the betterment of man, and has worked un- 

 tiringly to make the scientists themselves aware of their social responsibility as the 

 builders of man's future. By keeping the world at large constantly informed of the 

 important developments in pure and applied science they accomplish a three-fold pur- 

 pose — spread knowledge to the millions, materially reduce the lag between discovery 

 and application, and give greater impetus to research.
