During the course of the fiscal year 1949, there were three changes
in the membership of the Hall of Records Commission. Dr. Isaiah Bowman,
who had been a member since 1935, when he succeeded Dr. Joseph S. Ames
as President of the Johns Hopkins University, retired December 31, 1948.
While Dr. Bowman was not one of the original members of the Commis-
sion, his span of service extended back to the first few months of the Hall
cf Records and he was the senior member. He will be missed, moreover,
because of the very real interest he took in its work. He was succeeded by
Dr. Detlev W. Bronk.
