This is the leading learned society of England, having been founded in 1662, and boasting of Isaac Newton as one of its first presidents. The Society has on its roles the names of nearly all the great figures of England in the fields of science, art and literature. Winston Churchill is one of its present members. The Foreign Members of the Royal Society consist of 50 individuals, 18 of whom are from the United States. Two of these are astronomers. The total number elected in any one year in all fields is limited to four, and but three were elected in 1950. Five years ago Pete was also elected a Foreign Associate of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of France, the famous French learned society founded in 1666.

Jack Gilman wrote that he would like to get back in the army. The smell of smoke must have gotten him.

Due to fine responses from you good classmates and from the widows of many of those classmates who are gone it is possible again to congratulate Jack Spring on the fine record of our class in the 1950 Alumni Fund campaign. The class exceeded its quota and stood 11th in the percentage of objectives of all the classes.
