They have decided that practical difficulties attending the envisaged change-over from existing American and British standards to SI units are so great as to make this a gradual process, which does not, at this stage, warrant the inclusion of complicated conversion tables.

We regret to inform our readers of the passing of one of our Advisory Editors, Professor Kyuichiro Washizu, on 24 November 1981. One of the major figures in the modern development of variational principles and finite element formulations that sprang therefrom, he retired from the faculty of the University of Tokyo on 1 April 1981, at age sixty. Since that time he has held a professorship at Osaka University. A powerful intellect, and at the same time a kind and gentle man of exceptional good humour, he will be sorely missed by all of his colleagues and friends, especially the Editors, and by the technical community everywhere.
