DescriptionInforms Dale that the certificates for Fellowship include 'the names of two distinguished women scientists' - notes that the opinion of Counsel suggests that women can be elected, but thinks that 'in accordance with democratic principles...they should not take any action which is not in accordance with the traditions of the Society without a mandate from the Fellows'. Suggests that the special War Emergency Powers be invoked and the Fellows allowed to vote by postal card.
