At the December meeting of the Board of Editors two actions were taken that will be of interest to the readership. At the suggestion of the Managing Editor the Board voted to eliminate the section entitled “Professional Notices” fromsp future issues of the HAHR. Because of the large lead time required for publication in the journal, most of the information is already dated before it is published. In addition, journal pages are considerably more expensive and scarce than pages in a newsletter. Professor G. Micheal Riley, Secretary-Treasurer of CLAH, indicated that the CLAH Newsletter will continue to publish professional notices. The HAHR will continue to publish AHA session summaries in the May issue.
The Board of Editors also voted to amend the By-Laws of the HAHR to change the term of office of Advisory Editors. Beginning with the next elections new Advisory Editors serve six year terms. Present Advisory Editors will continue to serve for the time specified in the By-Laws under which they were elected.
