<strong>IN</strong>TERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AMONG PROTOZOOLOGISTS 299-<br />
During the Fifth International Congress in New York, in 1977, it was<br />
resolved that various groups of protozoologists could affiliate themselves<br />
with The Society of Protozoologists as sections or as national or supranational<br />
organizations. Such affiliated organizations, when prepared (and<br />
able) to cover the cost of publication, could have summaries of their<br />
national meetings printed in the supplement to "The Journal of Protozoology"<br />
without the individual members of the organizations having to<br />
pay dues to the Society. The Section of Protozoologists of the Polish<br />
Zoological Society is one of these national organizations, affiliated with<br />
The Society of Protozoologists.<br />
Following tradition, during the Sixth International Congress in Warsaw,<br />
10 July, 1981, there took place in the Hotel Europejski an Annual<br />
Business Meeting of The Society of Protozoologists, with the President,<br />
the late Professor R. Barclay McGhee, in the chair. His short presentation<br />
was very optimistic about the future of protozoology and protozoologists.<br />
He mentioned also the formation of The Society fo Protozoologists<br />
of the People's Republic of China.<br />
The Society of Protozoologists is growing in number of members as<br />
well as in the establishment of new sections. In June of 1981 the Society<br />
itself had a total of 996 members; during the next year, 82 new members<br />
joined. Continued interest in the field is reflected in the still significant<br />
number of requests for the little booklet published by the Society under<br />
the title "So You Want To Be a Protozoologist?"<br />
The optimism expressed by President McGhee was confirmed by<br />
the reports of the Secretary (Professor Jerome J. P a u 1 i n) and Treasurer<br />
(Professor Brower R. B u r c h i 11). In the period between 30 June<br />
1980 and 31 May 1981, there was a significant improvement in the<br />
Society's finances; the excess of income over expenditures increased<br />
from $ 18,000 to over $ 32,000.<br />
1.2. International Commission on Protozoology<br />
On 5 September 1965, during the closing session of the Second International<br />
Congress of Protozoology in London, the International Commission<br />
on Protozoology was established. Both its structure and scope of<br />
activities were defined. It was resolved that the Commission would consist<br />
of delegates of national and/or supranational Sections or Societies<br />
of Protozoologists; the President and Secretary-General of the previous<br />
Congress; and the President and Secretary-General of the next Congress,<br />
who were to be simultaneously President and Secretary of the Commission<br />
for the interim four-year period. It was decided also that the Third<br />
International Congress of Protozoology was to be held in Leningrad in<br />
1969.<br />
