ALPHABETICAL DIRECTORY OF MEMBERS 



Fob the Period Junk i, 1934, to July i, 1940 



Individual and Institution Members. In addition to individual members, 

 there are a few hundred institution members. The institutions are univer- 

 sities, colleges, libraries, societies and corporations. For convenience the 

 institution members are listed separately by states and countries immediately 

 following the directory of individual members. 



Names included in the Directory. This alphabetical directory includes 

 not only the names of all members at July 1, 1940, its official date, but also 

 the names of all members whose memberships terminated by death or other- 

 wise since June 1, 1934, which was the date of the corresponding alphabetical 

 director)- in the last preceding Summarized Proceedings published in 1934- 

 The year in which each membership terminated and the reason therefor are 

 given following the name of the member. 



Sources of Information. On December 15, 1939, a special form contain- 

 ing blanks to be filled in with information required for the alphabetical 

 directory was sent to every member of the Association. Return envelopes 

 were enclosed for the convenience of members in making their replies. 

 About two-thirds of the members provided the desired information. In 

 March, 1940, a second request was sent to those who did not reply to the 

 first call. Although many members heeded the second request, a consider- 

 able number did not reply at all. In the case of those who did not reply it 

 was necessary to use the information contained on their membership ap- 

 plication cards and in other records of the office of the Permanent Secre- 

 tary. This information was often supplemented by data contained in 

 biographical directories. The name of every person who was a member of 

 the Association on July 1, 1940, is included whether or not he filled out and 

 returned the special information card sent to him. 



Scope of the information given. The information following each name is 

 of two kinds, ( 1 ) that which pertains to the member independent of his 

 membership, such as his residence, for example, and (2) his membership 

 record. 



(1) The personal information is as follows: (a) The surname of the 

 member; (b) the title, such as Prof., Dr., Mr., Miss; (c) the given name 

 or names with the parts placed in parentheses that are usually omitted in 

 correspondence (Smith, Dr. C(larence) James, for example) ; (d) the 

 higher scholastic degrees received by the member, each followed by the 

 name of the institution that conferred the degree and the last two digits of 

 the year it was conferred (Ph.D., Vale, 31, for example) ; (e) the official 

 title or position of the member (assoc. prof, chemistry or dir. research lab.,
