About two hundred physicists, of whom twenty‐five or so had traveled from Europe, attended the International Conference on the Physics of Very Low Temperatures held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on September 6–10, 1949. Similar meetings had been organized before the last war but only as supplements to the meetings of the International Institute of Refrigeration which were concerned with industrial questions. The transfer to the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics marks the coming of age of low temperature research as a major branch of physics.
