endcd 1981 with 270 members, the largest number to date. Of current members, 165 joined by paying dues, 88 by subscribing to an Italian journal, and 17 both paid dues and subscribed. Italian journals continue to arrive with fair regularity, though most are much behind their schedules. We pian to continue to list only those joxu-nals which have given us, in advance, a firm commilment not to change their price during the year; this has been necessary to prevent what had become a drain on the resources o the Society, though it may cause some inconvenience to members whose preferred journals do not appear on our list. The Secretary expressed his concern that no manuscripts had been submitted this year for our Award to a Younger Scholar; he urged ali members to bring
the award to the attention of students or colleagues who might be eligible, and to suggest
to him possible means of further publicizing it.
As of December 21, 1981, the funds of the Society were as follows: N.O.W. Account

Since the Chairman of the Award and Citation Committee, David Herlihy, was unable
to attend the meeting, Charles Delzell presented his report. As noted a bove, no award was
given this year for an unpublished manuscript. The Citation to a Senior Scholar was

As the Chairman of the Nominating Committee, James Powell, was also not in
Los Angeles, Alan J. Reinerman presented his committee's nominations: David Herlihy as
President, Emiliana P. Noether as Vice President, and John O'Malley to the Advisory
Council; to fili the remaining two years of Emiliana P. Noether's term on the Council,
Claudio Segré was nominated. There were no nominations from the floor, and the nominees
were elected unanimously.
