(In 1923 no meeting was even planned. In 1933 only officers met, but all papers were declared "Read by
Title"—as in 1945 à cause de la guerre.)
The "Read by Title" category has been a nebulous phrase since it was originally used; it meant that titles
of research reports, with the author's name(s) and institution, were printed in the official program, but the
reports were never actually read or evaluated. In 1933 there were planned some forty-nine papers to be
presented and sixty-five in the "Read by Title" category. But because only a nominal meeting occurred that
year, the total of 114 papers were declared "Read by Title".
The Association decided not to have a "Read by Title" category after 1958. However, it reversed itself in
this matter, since it was planned that after 1971 there again would be a "Read by Title" category, but that it
should be realistic in the sense that reports so named actually would be read by title by the Chairmen of the
meetings in which they were included, since their abstracts had been evaluated, accepted, and were to be printed
along with the other abstracts that were orally presented on the program.
