Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed first printing thus. [2], [4], 202, [2] pages. KOSMAS is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that focuses on Czech, Slovak, and Central European Studies. It is published bi-annually by the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences (SVU). Includes articles on Human Rights, Slavic Studies, Masaryk, Valachian Dialect, Jaroslav Seifert The impetus for organizing the Society came from Dr. Jaroslav Nemec of the National Library of Medicine, who became its first secretary-general. The idea began to take shape in the fall of 1956, when a Study Section ("Studijni odbor") under the chairmanship of Dr. Vaclav Mostecky, was established in the Washington, DC Chapter of the Czechoslovak National Council of America. In the fall of 1957, the Study Section sent a questionnaire to thirty-five leading Czechoslovak scholars in the United States and Western Europe, concerning the possibility of organizing an Academy or Society of Czechoslovak Arts and Sciences. The response was affirmative and in fact so enthusiastic that the Study Section immediately went ahead with the recruitment of members.By June 1958 there were already 200 members, who elected an Organizing Council ("Pripravny vybor") as their tentative representatives. Professor Vaclav Hlavaty of Indiana University was elected President, and Vratislav Busek, former Professor of Charles University, and Rafael Kubelik, the world-renowned conductor, Vice-presidents. Dr. Jaroslav Nemec was subsequently elected Secretary-General, Oldrich Cerny, Treasurer, and Ivan Herben, Press Secretary. Almost all of the organizational and administrative work during these early stages of development rested on the shoulders of Dr. Nemec. His task was made considerably easier by the enthusiastic support, energetic work, and ready counsel he received from Professor Hlavaty and Ivan Herben.The original Study Section in Washington, DC later became the Washington Chapter of the Society, under the chairmanship of Dr. Ladislav Feierabend. This Chapter, with its novel and extensive activities, has become a model for other local chapters of the Society which were soon established throughout the United States and Canada.In the fall of 1959 the Society began to publish its regular news bulletin, Zpravy SVU, under the editorship of Ivan Herben. At the same time, Professor Rudolf Sturm of Skidmore College succeeded Dr. Nemec as Secretary-General.At the first General Assembly ("Valne shromazdeni"), which took place in New York City on April 16, 1960, the members approved the Society's by-laws, according to which the Society became an independent organization. Professor Hlavaty was elected President, Professor Vratislav Busek, Rafael Kubelik, and Dr. Felix Mikula (former aide to the Archbishop of Prague Josef Beran), Vice-presidents, and Dr. Nemec, Secretary-general.In 1961, the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York as a non-profit cultural organization and it assumed the name: Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences in America, Inc. Although the Society maintains its headquarters in the United States, it is an international organization. The original concept of the society of Czech and Slovak intelligentsia abroad has changed into that of an organization open to all scholars, regardless of national background, who are genuinely interested in the advancement of Czechoslovak scholarship.…
