   [ It shall be a duty of the organizers of the British Mathematical Colloquium to communicate to the London Mathematical Society brief reports and announcements concerning the Colloquium, for publication in the Society's Journal, and such other information as may be helpful to the Society in planning its programme of meetings. The reports and announcements shall be communicated also to the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and, at the discretion of the Chairman, to any other society that might wish to publish information about the Colloquium (for instance, the American Mathematical Society). For its part, the London Mathematical Society undertakes to publish the reports and announcements with all possible speed and at its own expense. The report of a Colloquium held in late March or early April can be expected to appear in the Journal for July of the same year; the form of the report should be generally similar to that which appeared in the Journal for July 1966.]

7. Attention was drawn to the fact that Dr Todd was now the only person who had attended every Colloquium. It was proposed and seconded that this should be be recognised by the creation of the office of Honorary President, of which Dr Todd should be the holder. This resolution was carried enthusiastically and unanimously.
