The report which we have the honour of submitting to the Society, on behalf of the Executive Committee of the Silchester Excavation Fund, of the discoveries made during the past year, is also the record of the systematic excavation of the site for the sixth successive season.

As it had already done in the past, and thanks to the kindness of the League, the ICRC invited on 22 September representatives from the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Lion and Sun National Societies, who were present in Geneva for the League Executive Committee, to its headquarters, in order to acquaint them with its present activities, both practical and general. They had thus the opportunity of listening to a number of accounts, which were then followed by a general discussion.

This report was planned in cooperation with Commission 10. Both this report and the one of Commission 10 together give a coordinated overview of published developments in solar research during the past three years. For several years, the scope of Commission 12 has included not only the areas indicated by the title of the Commission but also the structure of the solar interior. This broadening of coverage has led to a proposed renaming of this Commission: Solar Structure, which is currently under consideration by the IAU Executive Committee.

I have the honour of submitting to the Society, on behalf of my colleagues of the Executive Committee of the Silchester Excavation Fund, the report of our investigations during the six months from the 17th May to 27th November of last year (1907), being the eighteenth successive season of our exploration of the site.In pursuance of the plan foreshadowed in last year's report, our investigations for 1907 were resumed in the grass field which occupies a considerable area near the middle of the Roman site.

Although I am currently a member in good standing of the AAP School Health Committee and have been for the past four years, your readers may be surprised to find my name missing from the list endorsing the School Health Committee's Statement on Health Education which appears on page 458 in this issue of Pediatrics. Also, the Executive Committee turned down my request to publish a Minority Report. Therefore, this opportunity to describe the other side of the coin is sincerely appreciated.

Division IV organises astronomers studying the characterisation, interior and atmospheric structure, and evolution of stars of all masses, ages, and chemical compositions. The Executive Committee of the Division comprises the Presidents of the Five Commissions of the Division, and the Past Division President.One of the main tasks of the Division is to advise the Executive Committee of the IAU on meetings proposed by members of the IAU. Members wishing to seek IAU support for proposed scientific meetings should follow the IAU rules for such meetings.

As this is my first communication with you as your new president, I should start by thanking ASM’s Council, and especially the Executive Committee, for honouring me in this way and for putting their faith in me. I must also thank Jon Iredell for the wonderful job he did as ASM President for the past two years, and for the amazing support and guidance he has given me to date (and hopefully in future).

The case concerns a situation where a manager finds that a candidate for the new position of supervisor for the Sports and Recreation Centre in the housing colony of the company is someone with whom she has a troubling history. She approaches the General Manager, HR and shares the details of her experiences and her concerns about this person's candidature, requesting that the candidate’s case not be processed further. She presents it as a serious matter with a potential threat to vulnerable women and young girls as the position involves close engagement with the residents of the colony. She provides details of her first-hand experience and familiarity with the candidate to build credibility for her position. However, the boss dismisses her concerns, reminding her that it was all in the past and advises her to move on. She requests him to consult the members of the Executive Committee of the Residents’ Association before taking a decision. He agrees to do so and sends an email to the team. She finds that he treats her concerns summarily in his email and frames the issue very differently from her, presenting a simple choice between two options. The HR manager is worried and wonders if there is anything she can do in the matter. The context would help generate discussion relating to persuasion, framing and managerial communication challenges.

The year 1990, within the triennium covered by the present report, marked a number of significant anniversaries for the Central Bureau, including 70 years since its foundation at the Brussels Observatory, 25 years since the transfer of the Bureau’s operations to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (and 22 years of Dr. Marsden’s service as Director), and the issuance of the 5000th Circular. The amount of work done at the Bureau has increased enormously in this time, but especially within the past decade, as a result of the demands of modern astronomers and astrophysicists who are responding to the technological advances that have revolutionized observing and computing methods. At the same time methods of rapid communication have undergone a transformation that still continues. Appreciation is due for the support provided to the Bureau by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, but special gratitude must be expressed to Dr. Marsden and members of the staff and volunteers for their long hours of work and dedication to the needs of astronomers around the world for rapid access to information.


In the present paper we purpose to give an account of experiments conducted during the past three years on the means whereby mice may be completely protected against the inocluation of transplantable carcinomata, which grow readily in normal mice. At the same time we shall show that these experiments throw fresh light on the nature of cancer. The Executive Committee and the Pathological Sub-Committee of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund have been informed of the progress of these investigations, and some provisional results have also been laid before the General Committee at the Annual Meetings. The experiments are being continued, but some of the results which have accumulated make it advisable to give an account of the stage at which they have now arrived. They are based mainly on a study of 23 transplantable carcinomata of the mamma of the mouse, and of other malignant new growths which could not be propagated artificially. In these experiments we have used, for the most part, the growth of Jensen’s tumour in normal animals to bring out the changes induced in protected animals and the refractoriness of insusceptible animals; but we shall also employ another tumour (XXVII) of different histology, which grows equally well under artificial propagation. We have employed Jensen’s tumour as a standard for the following reasons:-(1) It was the only tumour used to control some of our earlier observations; (2) With proper precautions it gives regularly 85 to 100 per cent. of successful inoculations in a large number of animals; (3) Within ten days the inoculation of 0.01 to 0.02 gramme in weight; (4) We have fully demonstrated that it may produce large metastases, that it may extend by the blood or lymphatic streams, and behave under experimental conditions typically as a malignant new growth; (5) Its rate of growth is not exceeded by any mouse tumour now being propagated; (6) It is in the hands of most investigators throughout the world, who will be able to repeat our observations. It therefore fulfils better than any other tumour the requirements of such a standard.

At the 2014 ALA Annual Conference in Las Vegas, the RBMS Conference Development Committee and the RBMS Executive Committee initiated a discussion on changing the name of the “RBMS Preconference” to “RBMS Conference.” Later, at the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, the name change was made official via the Consent Agenda item at the RBMS Executive Committee meeting. With this new name, the Section acknowledges the expanded scale and reach of our annual event, which recently has grown to more than 400 attendees and spans three and a half days. By contrast, other ALA Preconferences typically comprise a half . . .
