1986 MRS President as well as contracting and managing the conference facilities. In 1984, he served as chair of the Program Committee and as Meeting Chair for the Society's highly successful inaugural Spring Meeting, held in Albuquerque. He has also served on the Spciety's Publications, Finance, Corporate Participation, External Affairs, Awards, Nominations, and Long Range Planning Committees. As First Vice President and PresidentElect in 1985, Pike supported the growth of the MRS Headquarters in Pittsburgh during its second year of operation. During this
period, the Headquarters staff tripled in size, implemented a computer system for membership records and general Society management, and undertook a number of key new membership service activities. At the same time, Pike was instrumental in shaping the expansion of the MRS Short Course Program, which includes for 1986 many new course topics and more frequent and flexible schedules, as well as the new On-Site course program. He was also actively involved in establishing Journal of Materials Research, which begins publication in early 1986. Pike is a member of the American Physical Society, serving four years in the APS Visiting Physicist Program, as well as a member of the American Ceramic Society and AAAS. His concern for strong intersociety communication in the United States and abroad has resulted in a number of cooperative efforts and has set a strong momentum for exchange and interaction during the coming year. Emphasized 1984 MRS President Woody White, "Gordon Pike is one of the most dedicated, competent and well-organized individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. Under his direction, the Society is assured of continued growth, while maintaining as its primary goal its service to the world community of materials research professionals." Pike outlines his plans for 1986 in an article in this issue.
