Celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Establishment of the Crystallographic Society of Japan

The birth of the present Society was due to the efforts of S. Nishikawa, T. Ito, S. Miyake, and other forerunners. The sympathy and friendship of P. P. Ewald and R. W. G. Wyckof f toward Japanese crystallographers for the birth should be reflected. The proceedings of the first meeting were reported in a journal “X-Rays” [6, No. 1 (1930), 44] .
