AS Hugh Aitken explained in our September issue, the editorship of this, the spring number of THE JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC HISTORY, which in memory of Edwin F. Gay is entitled also THE TASKS OF ECONOMIC HISTORY, falls now on someone involved in preparing the program for our annual meeting. Except in our business meeting and in the session devoted to discussing doctoral dissertations, we met last fall with the International Economic History Association. Accordingly we are presenting here, in addition to the summaries of dissertations, a few of the papers which were prepared for the Fourth Congress of the International Economic History Association and which were discussed at its meeting at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana, September 10–14, 1968. This issue of THE JOURNAL may be considered a kind of supplement to the volume containing the proceedings of the Congress, a volume which is in the process of publication by the University of Indiana Press. In order to minimize delays in the publication of those proceedings, the Executive Committee of the International Economic History Association approved restricting its content to the rapports and brief summaries of the communications. Other outlets are being found for the full texts of the many valuable communications presented for discussion at Bloomington.

The eighth annual conference of the American Committee for Irish Studies was held at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, from 30 April to 2 May 1970, with Professor Thomas Kinsella supervising local arrangements. The theme of the conference was ‘The roots of Ulster’, and representatives from both the Republic and Northern Ireland, as well as regular members of ACIS attended (Appendix A). At the business meeting Professor Harold Orel, of the University of Kansas, officially succeeded Professor John Kelleher of Harvard University as chairman of the executive committee, while Professor Maurice Harmon, of University College, Dublin, was named Irish representative on the executive committee. The business meeting also made the decision to accept the bid of the College of William and Mary for the 1971 conference. Professor J. C. Beckett, of Queen’s University, Belfast, delivered the banquet address. He spoke of the need for scholarly detachment and integrity on the part of the historian, who must strive to overcome personal bias and ‘represent times past as they were indeed’ Professor Beckett made a plea for more ‘popular history’, solidly grounded on historical evidence, but written in such a way that people will read it for pleasure as well as instruction. He explained the efforts being made in Northern Ireland to promote and popularize Irish studies, giving special emphasis to Queen’s University’s Institute of Irish Studies, which was attempting to coordinate work in the various fields of Irish studies.

Around six hundred astronomers and space scientists gathered at the University of Portsmouth in June 2014 for the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting (NAM). NAM is one of the largest professional astronomy conferences in Europe, and this year’s gathering included the UK Solar Physics annual meeting as well as attendance from the magnetosphere, ionosphere and solar-terrestrial physics community. Conference tracks ranged from discussion of the molecular universe to cosmic chronometers, and from spectroscopic cosmology to industrial applications of astrophysics and astronomy.
