IUPAP Commissions Report

Much of the activity of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics results from the work of the numerous special commissions within the Union. Each commission has an international composition, and each periodically submits a report of its work, including recommendations for action, to the general assembly of IUPAP. The following are excerpts from several such reports made subsequent to meetings of several of the commissions which were held between April and September 1961.
