S. HUNTER Dear Editor: As President of the Inter-Society Color Council I would like to congratulate you on the proposed publication of a new journal on color and related subjects. For some time it has been clear to all those involved in the field that there was a need for such a journal. Although several journals are available, no one journal provides availability for the broad interests of those concerned with all aspects of color. This fact has been a matter of great concern to the Board of Directors of the Inter-Society Color Council and many members. It is not appropriate at this time to detail the frustrations associated with past attempts to provide such a journal. With the endorsement of the Inter-Society Color Council, The Colour Group (Great Britain), and the Canadian Society for Color, we should be able to provide the basis for an excellent journal. I believe this development may be one of the most important during my term in office. Very truly yours, ROLAND a number of specialist journals which deal with color in relation to particular industries, but I see this new journal as the medium for the publication of papers which deal with color in breadth as an interdisciplinary subject and also in depth as a subject worthy of study in its own right. You and your associate editors will have the responsibility of establishing the authority of the journal through the selection of the papers which you publish, but I have every confidence that it will quickly become the recognized channel for the publication of papers of the highest quality. At the same time I hope you will find space for lighter items of news and comment, so that the journal will reflect the friendliness which I find whenever we get together, either in small groups or at large international congresses, to talk about color. I wish you every success in your endeavours. I think it is a particularly happy augury for the future of the journal that it is, in effect, the official journal of our three color societies in America, Canada, and Great Britain. I am certainly very glad that the decision to establish the journal was taken during my term of office as Chairman of The Colour Group (Great Britain) and I was proud to sign the agreement with the publishers on behalf of The Colo~r Group. I can only regret that the journal was not 10 existence when I first took up the subject of color as a research student in 1926, nearly 50 years ago! Yours sincerely, W. D. WRIGHT E. DERBY, JR. Dear Editor: I regard the establishment of this new journal (COLOR RESEARCH AND APPLICATION) as a major event in the world of color. There are, of course, Dear Editor: May COLOR RESEARCH AND APPLICATION have a long and useful life! The field of color needs an English-language journal of the sort contemplated. To have one in which the Inter-Society Color Council, The Colour Group (Great Britain), and the Canadian Society for Color will share responsibility for editorial guidance; in which WileyInterscience is publisher; and in which Fred Billmeyer as editor-in-chief heads an editorial board of eminent colorists, seems quite enough to insure the success of this new journal. A cooperative effort of this sort is in the spirit and tradition that have made it such a joy to work in the color field over these past 50 years of expanding knowledge. I wish you and the new journal great success, and look forward to future issues with great interest. Yours very sincerely, DOROTHY NICKERSON Color Research and Application
