The 27th session of the Council of the European Organization for Nuclear Research was held at Meyrin‐Geneva on June 18 and 19 under the presidency of J. H. Bannier of the Netherlands. During the early part of the session, the Council heard a report on CERN activities in the first half of 1964, presented by V. F. Weisskopf, the Organization’s director general. In his report, Professor Weisskopf laid especial stress on fundamental‐particle research with the 28‐BeV proton synchrotron, including the discovery of meson resonances, the search for “quarks”, and the use of neutrinos to study the weak interaction.
