The cash payment alternative was voted down in committee but it is not dead yet. It is practically certain that whatever form of bonus...
...science, edited for several years past by Dr. George Sarton. The sale for such a magazine is, of course, limited; Isis is in danger of having to discontinue. The aim is to make it the official journal of the new society and send it free to members on payment of $5 dues. The proposed organization will provide a meeting-ground for scientists, historians, philosophers, writers, representatives of special groups like archeologists and medical men who have been writing independently. Dr. David E. Smith, professor of mathematics at Teachers' College, Columbia University, is in charge of the preliminary organization...
