Abstract
IN 1884 the late Prof. Bauschinger, of Munich, conceived the idea of bringing professional men engaged in testing materials into personal contact, with a view to initiating researches into the physical and chemical behaviour of structural materials. Congresses were held at Munich, Dresden, Berlin, Vienna, and Zürich; and at the last-named Congress it was decided to form a permanent International Association, which now numbers 1200 members; and under its auspices the sixth International Congress was held at Stockholm on August 23, 24 and 25. Prof. Tetmajer, of Zürich, presided, and 452 delegates from all parts of the world were present. One member of each nationality represented was elected an honorary president, the complete list being as follows: Mr. Ast (Austria), Mr. Greiner (Belgium), Prof. Hannover (Denmark), Mr. Peters (Germany), Mr. Bennett Brough (Great Britain), Mr. Baucke (Holland), Mr. Banowitz (Hungary), Mr. Fadda (Italy), Mr. Krag (Norway), Prof. Belelubsky (Russia), Mr. Nyberg (Finland), Mr. Akerman (Sweden), Mr. Schraft (Switzerland), Colonel Mayandia (Spain), and Mr. C. G. Henning (United States).
