Submitted by the Director and accepted by the Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics as its Annual Report to the Member Societies of the AIP, April 4, 1959
Physics Today

It is appropriate in an annual report not only to review the work of the year just past, but also to examine basic objectives around which a program for the future must be built. In this year’s report, the past year’s activities of the Institute are summarized under the headings (1) Archive Publications, (2) Public Information Services, (3) Educational Projects, (4) Manpower Studies and Member Services, and (5) Institute Organizational Development. The introductory paragraphs will be given over to a brief discussion of the basic purposes of the Institute.
