ATE IN 1953, PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER MADE HIS HISTORIC PLEA TO THE UNITED NATIONS FOR COOPERATION ON PEACE-TIME ATOMIC PROJECTS. THESE PROJECTS, IT WAS HOPED, WOULD PROVIDE GREAT BENEFITS FROM A FORM OF ENERGY WHICH HITHERTO HAD BEEN THOUGHT OF IN CON- NECTION WITH HUMAN DESTRUCTION. THE SOVIET UNION CHOSE TO DEFER ACTION ON THIS SINCERE AND VERY SOLEMN PLEA, THUS NULLIFYING ANY CHANCES OF IMMEDIATEY SETTING UP A UNITED NATIONS AGENCY FOR THIS PURPOSE. CONFIDENTLY, THE UNITED STATES AND THE OTHER FREE NATIONS OF THE WORLD INSISTED ON MAINTAINING THEIR IDEALS, AND TODAY, THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISH- ING AN AGENCY DEVOTED TO THE USE OF ATOMS FOR PEACE. WE, THE ARCHIVE STAFF OF JANUARY, I955, ARE PROUD TO DEDICATE THIS YEARBOOK TO THE HOPE OF THE FREE WORLD, THAT THIS ATOMS FOR PEACE PROJECT WILL YIELD THE FRUIT OF UNIVERSAL UNDERSTANDING. LET US FERVENTLY PRAY THAT THE INFINITE ENERGY OF THE ATOM WILL CREATE A HUMAN HARMONY FAR BEYOND OUR BRIGHTEST DREAMS. Fife
