Newark, New jersey. It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

Congratulations to Raman Parimala, Emory University, who will present the AWM Noether Lecture at JMM 2013, entitled “A Hasse Principle for Quadratic Forms over Function Fields.” She is honored for her groundbreaking research in theory of quadratic forms, hermitian forms, linear algebraic groups, and Galois cohomology. The Noether Lecture is the oldest of the three named AWM Lectures. (The Falconer Lecture is presented at MathFest, and the Sonia Kovalevsky at the SIAM Annual Meeting.) The first Noether Lecture was given by F. Jessie MacWilliams in 1980 in recognition of her fundamental contributions to the theory of error correcting codes.

Various kinds of finding aids are needed to facilitate the use of these records, and the first step in the records-description program is the compilation of preliminary inventories of the material in the 270-odd record groups to which the holdings of the National Archives are allocated. These inventories are called "preliminary" because they are provisional in character. They are prepared.as soon as possible after the records are received without waiting to screen out all disposable material or to per­ fect the arrangement of the records. They are compiled primarily for in­ ternal use: both as finding aids to help the staff render efficient refer­ ence service and as a means of establishing administrative control over the records. Each preliminary inventory contains an introduction that briefly states the history and fUnctions of the agency that accumulated the records.
