REPORT OF THE EDITOR.

The present editor was appointed in late September, 1951. All papers from the annual meeting of 1951 except the presidential address and papers submitted in advance to the previous editor, were turned over to the new editor, and all manuscripts received after that time in New Haven were forwarded. The first issue for which the present editor was responsible was the issue of February, 1952. No major problems have arisen during the past year. Each issue has come out on time, and the quality of the articles and book reviews appears to have been satisfactory judging from the lack of complaints reaching the editor. Because of a sharp increase in printing costs it has been difficult to stay within estimated costs. Some issues have exceeded the allowance because of the inexperience of the editor who did not realize the amount of extra charges for tabular and mathematical printing.
