THE MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA.

This is my second and last communication to the membership during my tour as President. The main purpose of this newsletter is to summarize the highlights and major actions taken by the Council in their meeting June 2, 1983, and to infonn you of other pertinent Society business. I had hoped to be able to get this out earlier, in time to pennit a review of the plans for the forthcoming Annual Meeting at Indianapolis, but the circumstances precluded it. A summary of the minutes of both meetings will be published in the May-June, 1984, issue of the American Mineralogist.
