Is "Notices of the American Mathematical Society" available before 1995?

As Andreas Blass and others surmised, this is indeed an abstract. It was for a 10-minute talk at the Annual Meeting in January, 1975. Here is the entire "paper":

On Manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature II

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Then the exponential mapping $\exp_p$ for any $p\in M$ , restricted to the domain bounded by the cut locus, is everywhere volume decreasing.From this fact one deduces the following THEOREM. Let $M$ be a Riemannian, $n$-dimensional, complete manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Then, if $r$ denotes the injectivity radius and $D$ the geodesic diameter of $M$ , the volume $V$ of $M$ satisfies $V \ge c_nr^{n-1}D$, where $c_n$ is a positive constant depending on $n$ . In particular, if $M$ is not compact (i. e. if $D=\infty$), the volume of $M$ , under the same assumptions, is infinite. (Received November 6, 1974.)

A couple of notes. I reproduced the capitalization and (non)hyphenation of the title as it appeared in the Notices. I also tried to preserve some oddities in punctuation in the text, but otherwise "TeX-ified" it; the original is literally typed, with a handwritten $\in$ symbol.

Added 11/13/12: Out of idle curiosity, I went back to the library today, to see if Calabi ever gave a talk titled "On Manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature I." If he did, it wasn't at an AMS meeting (or else I didn't dig back far enough).

In the process, however, I noticed that, beginning in October, 1972, the Notices ran a "Queries" column, inviting "questions from members regarding mathematical matters such as details of, or references to, vaguely remembered theorems, sources of exposition of folk theorems, or the state of current knowledge concerning published conjectures" -- i.e., a sort of snail-mail version of MathOverflow. Here's the inaugural query (the answer to which arrived in a then-speedy three months):

1 . R.P. Boas (2440 Simpson Street, Evanston, Illinois 60201). Given a finite collection of vectors, of total length 1, in a plane, we can always arrange them in a polygon, starting from 0, that at some stage gets at least $1/\pi$ away from 0. Mitrinovic [Analytic inequalities, 1970, pp. 331-332] cites Bourbaki [1955], but the theorem was known at least in the early 1940's, when I remember seeing a paper on it; can anybody supply the reference?

My own favorite is from the next issue:

4 . Cleve B. Moler (Department of Mathematics, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106). Can somebody recommend a good source where I can learn about the connection of mathematics and various biological processes such as photosynthesis?

Cleve Moler is perhaps best known as the inventor of MATLAB.

In conclusion, the answer to the OP's question, "is the Notices available before 1995?" the answer seems to be yes, but only at libraries that hold onto old journals. I wonder if the AMS could be persuaded to make the early volumes of the Notices available through JSTOR.

To update the answer in the title question: Full issues of the Notices of the AMS from 1954 onwards are now available online. Just follow this link and click on "Full Issues Browsing Options and Other Notices Collections."
