NASA announced that Dr. Eugene Emme, NASA historian since 1959 and developer of the NASA history program of professional and general publications recording the agency's development, would retire May 1 to devote full time to lectures and writing on aerospace science and technology history. Prof. Thomas Hughes, chairman of the NASA History Advisory Committee, said that Emme was "not only present at the creation of what is virtually, a new discipline-space history-but he also played a central role in establishing sound institutional support for that discipline." Emme had been founding chairman of the history committee of the Natl. Rocket Club (later the Natl. Space Club) and had served on the history committees of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Astronautical Society. He had been a corresponding member of the Intl. Academy of Astronautics, a fellow of the American Association for Advancement of Science, the British Interplanetary Society, and the AAS; and he was an associate fellow of AIAA. (NASA Release 78-63)
