An attempt is made to summarize a year's progress on the technical projects of the Section in such a way as to stress the program and capabilities of the organizational unit as a whole. A description of facilities and equipment is presented, and the directions of the programs are indicated. Brief summaries of several lines of work now under way are given. The main areas include the measurement of acidity, with progress toward the establishment of standards for pH, pH*, and pD being reported. Studies of the behavior of glass electrodes in deuterium oxide are described and solvent effects on ionic processes are discussed. Equilibrium data for certain ionic systems have been obtained, modifications of a precision conductance bridge are described, and a method for titrating hydrogen fluoride in dimethylformamide is outlined. The survey concludes with lists of the members of the Section staff, publications and manuscripts produced during the year, talks given by the staff, and committee assignments. (Author).
