August, 1936 • American Cinematographer 323 T he AMERICAN SOCIETY OR CINEMA- TOGRAPHERS was founded in 1918 for the purpose of bringing into closer confederation and cooperation all those leaders in the cinema- tographic art and science whose aim is and ever will be to strive for pre-eminence in artistic per- fection and technical mastery of this art and science. Its purpose is to further the artistic and scientific advancement of the cinema and its allied crafts through unceasing research and experimentation as well as through bringing the artists and the scien- tists of cinematography into more intimate fellow- ship. To this end its membership is composed of the outstanding cinematographers of the world with Associate and Honorary memberships bestowed upon those who, though not active cinematog- raphers, are engaged none the less in kindred pur- suits, and who have, by their achievements, con- tributed outstandingly to the progress of cinema- tography as an Art or as a Science. To further these lofty aims and to fittingly chronicle the progress of cinematography, the Society's publication. The American Cinematographer, is dedicated.
