              Dear Leopold: 
 
                   It appears that the Committee on Awards has reached a
suffi- 
              cient degree of agreement to warrant a final draft of rules

              governing its work for 1940. A copy of the rules is enclosed
for 
              your inforxiation but I would suggest the entire freedom of
the 
              members of the committee to bring up in a meeting of our own
body, 
              if we are able to hold one or even in that of the general meeting

              of the Society, changes that appear desirable. 
 
                   As a reminder, the papers so far nominated are the following,

              only brief titles being given for those that have been mentioned

              before; there is one additional paper listed.
