It also needed to make the transition from physical to virtual print by developing a website. The reputation of the journal suffered, so emphasizing the legacy of the journal by making the archive available online was done. All of these problems were resolved during the time I sat as chair. I continue to act as a consultant or advisor to the current committee. 7
