held at the Department of Geography, Cambridge, on Wednesday, 14 May 1947 at 5 p.m.
22 member and 15 visitors were present
The President informed the Meeting that the Minute Book was on the table and that if no objections were raised the Minutes of the last two Meetings would be signed in the ordinary way.
1. Report by President. The President said that the first issue of the Journal of Glaciology had been well received; its publication had resulted in the Society’s membership and subscription list increasing from 128 at the end of last year to 371 at the present day.
This was made up as follows:
2. Future Meetings. Mr. H. P. F. Herdman had agreed to read a paper on the Southern Pack Ice in the autumn. The next meeting after that would be early in 1948.
3. The President said that reporters had been appointed by the Hydrology Sub-Committee of the International Association of Scientific Hydrology, to receive papers to be read before the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Oslo in 1948. The subjects were listed in the Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1947, p. 35, and the reporters were as follows:
-
Mr. J. M. Wordie.
-
Captain W. N. McClean.
-
Mr. G. Seligman,
Contributions should be sent to the reporters direct, or to the Society, before 1 November 1947. The President reported that at the Washington Congress in 1939, 61 papers had been submitted, but he feared that not many papers would be written here this year; nevertheless, he hoped that some British papers would be forthcoming.
4. The President asked the Reverend W. L. S. Fleming to take the Chair for the Discussion on Glaciological Research in the Antarctic (see p. 105).
