Proceedings of the Annual Meeting and the Celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Chicago, September 9-11, 1935

1993 is an auspicious year for the History of Economics Society. Almost exactly twenty years and one month ago the first gathering of historians of economic thought took place in Chicago. It was not exactly the first meeting of the Society since it was officially formed only in 1974 and the first official meeting took place that year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. However, the 1973 meeting demonstrated that there was sufficient interest in the subject to form a society. Hence, this is both the twentieth annual meeting of the History of Economics Society and the twentieth anniversary of its inception.

Twentieth Anniversary

As the 1939 annual meeting of the Society approached, Clarence Davies found it natural to sum up his judgment of ASME’s situation. The war in Europe was sure to involve the United States somehow. Besides, 1939 marked his twentieth anniversary in the organization and he had just seen it through five years of the depression as its chief administrative officer. He felt some pride in having maintained so many of the Society’s programs and yet kept the budget in balance, although he also saw the harsh effects of long financial drought. Those might have been reasons enough for his candid and confidential memorandum to Council, but on top of them, Davies spent practically all his waking hours concerned with ASME and he thought he knew what it ought to be doing. And just as at the beginning of the depression he had been inspired by Charles A. Beard’s Whither Mankind, at the end of it he entitled his own observations ‘Whither ASME?’

Twentieth Anniversary

1961 marks the twentieth anniversary of the founding of The Society for Applied Anthropology. We plan to celebrate this event by holding, as our annual meeting, a conference on "Major Issues of Modern Society." Here, with a limited number of major papers and ample opportunity for discussion, we will take stock of the progress of our Society and the problems encountered by its members in research and application of research findings to some of the key issues of the day. We shall use this stocktaking particularly to look into the future and to search for more effective ways of contributing to scientific and social progress in the next twenty years.
