Presidency edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I'm interested in compiling a list of Presidents of the RPA. A couple are easy to reference: 1955-1970 Bertrand Russell, 1982-1999 Hermann Bondi. Others

Current President of the Rationist Association is Jonathan Miller.

There's a list in Bill Cooke's The Blasphemy Depot (2003):

Graham Wallas, 1926-1929
Harold Laski, 1929-1933
Lord Harry Snell, 1933-1940
Surgeon Rear Admiral C M Beadnell, 1940-1947
CD Darlington, 1948-1949
AE Heath, 1949-1954
Bertrand Russell, 1955-1970
Baroness Wootton, 1970-1973
Lord Ritchie Calder, 1973-1981
Hermann Bondi, 1981-

Bondi died in September 2005. Jonathan Miller became president in 2006.[3]

Herbert Leon is listed as a Chair of the Board of Directors, 1913-1922, not as President.

Bondi according to several reliable sources was the president (1982-1999), not up to 2005. Who replaced Bondi? In 2006 it was Jonathan Miller, and now it is Laurie Taylor but I do not know when Taylor took over from Miller. Anyone know the dates? I have a big foot (talk) 08:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
