THE MEMBERS OF IADR
Increased attendance at the meetings is indicative of the increased number of members. Indeed,
membership has grown stupendously over the past five decades. At that initial dinner meeting on the evening of
10 December, there were twenty-one men actually present; four others residing in New York City, fourteen in
Boston, and one in Chicago could not attend, but had expressed their commitment to the concept of the new
organization and so were considered present in spirit. This made a total of forty Founders who had a meeting of
minds resulting in the birth of the IADR.
Very unfortunately, there were no records available of the growth rate between 1920 until the time of the
Sixth General Meeting in 1928. In the accompanying table on membership, wherever there are other gaps,
records were not preserved for the categories cited—that is, members registered at meetings—or for total
attendance.
