AIP annual report 1957

The year 1957 was a full one for the American Institute of Physics. The conversion of the building at 335 East Forty‐Fifth Street mentioned in last year’s annual report began on January 2. On June 8, the Institute staff moved into the new AIP headquarters. The building was completely modernized and provides the space so badly needed for present operations, and also considerable space for future expansion. Through the generosity of Mr. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., a handsomely furnished board room, named in honor of Karl Taylor Compton, is available for meetings of the Institute Governing Board, other professional council meetings, and appropriate committee meetings.
