PROCEEDINGS OF ANNUAL MEETING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA APRIL 1, 1937 FOREWORD This bulletin covers in outline the proceedings of the annual meeting of Air Hygiene Foundation, held at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., February 9, 1937. Appended are recommendations by the three major com mittees--Medical, Preventive Engineering, and Legal--for re searches which are agreed to be of immediate importance. Some of the projects can be completed in a few months, others will require several years. The Board of Trustees has approved the program, contingent upon the raising of the necessary funds. Dues from the pres ent membership, upon the modest scale in effect for 1937, will be insufficient to finance the work. It is hoped that enough additional industrial concerns wiU affiliate to make it possible to proceed with these studies which are of vital importance to industry. H. B.
