Mrs. Alden Short, president, and
Mrs. Irwin R. Murray, first vice

the club, setting forth that of the
40 women who gathere in ST.
PauIs Episcopal Parish House, on
Nov. 16, 1897, only Mrs. sara L.
Adams is still active in the club.
She served as president three

achievements of the club. This

period during World War II, until
now, using the new building as
headquarters. In 1949. the books

DR.. Won Neumonn

The Atomic Energy Commission has
not exaggerated in describing the death
of DR.. John Won Neumann as an 'irre-
placeable loss to the Commission, Ito
science, and to the Nation" For he
was man of unique and very great
genius, genius of the kind that expresses
itself not only in the formulation of far
reaching abstract theory, but also in the
translation of such theory into the tan
gible substance of operating reality. In
that respect, like few other individuals,
he played key role in shaping the fast
changing, revolutionary character of our
age.
Almost as soon as he arrived in this
country from Hungary in 1880, which was
long before he became member of the
Acc, DR.. Won Neumann began to con-
tribute significantly to our national life
and security. AS one of the worlds most
brilliant mathematicianS, a scientist in
the purest sense, he probably did more
than any other Enthusiastically more than
any other American-in the fabulous and
rather mind-reeling business of designing
and building computing machines. He
was called, not for nothing, the human
brain behind the development Of cleo
tronic brains, those marvellous but hard
to-underStand contrivanceS that answer
within a matter Of days or months math-
ematical problems whose solution would
otherwise require several lifetimes of hu-
man effort. Because Of what he ac'
complished in such fields as this, his
impact on our era was major one
