AIP annual report 1952

MAY 01, 1953
Submitted by the Director and accepted by the Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics as its annual report to the members of the AIP, March 14, 1953.

The American Institute of Physics attained and celebrated in 1951 its twentieth anniversary. It seemed appropriate for the 1951 annual report to review the status of physics in a more careful and comprehensive way than usual. By contrast, the present report—for 1952—can be devoted to present problems, looking toward a better future for physics rather than marking past accomplishments.
