17 2 PRESIDENT’S PREFACE Volume XII of the International Archives of Photogrammetry is now ready to be put into the hands of photogrammetrists all over the world. I hope that this volume will be a worthy link in the noble chain formed by its predecessors. The Archives do not only contain the Reports of the Congress Meetings: at the same time they give a clear and detailed review of the present state of photogrammetry. Closer study of this volume will reveal that it contains articles of more or less varied interest for larger or smaller groups of specialists. Some readers will probably be of the opinion that the work would have benefited from a more or less severe elimination. The Congress Board has considered this problem, and found that the present Statutes hardly give it the right to make eliminations which in any case would be of a more or less subjective character. It must not be forgotten that the dominant purpose of the Archives is to constitute a historical document of the Congresses and of the contemporary state of photo grammetry. It must also be remembered that present-day readers are much more numerous than ever before and include not only scientists, but also practi cians and various other more or less specialized categories of photogrammetrists. A confrontation of this volume of the xWehives with the preceding ones leaves us in no doubt that photogrammetry has developed at an astounding speed. Starting from modest origins, it has now become a science highly esteemed and appreciated by all nations, and an indispensable instrument in human evolution. Now that this volume is placed before the photogrammetrists of the world, the great task of organising the VIII Congress, entrusted to Sweden at Washing ton four years ago, is at last accomplished. Much toil, and many cares, now belong to the past. But from this Congress a dominating and very pleasant feeling remains with me — the memory of much kindness and friendliness on the part of the participants, thanks to whom all the meetings and other func tions ran so smoothly. It would be impossible for me to restrain my feelings of gratitude towards all those who by their work or in other ways contributed to the success of the Congress. First and foremost I wish to express my thanks to my colleagues in the Congress Board, to their assistants and other voluntary Congress officers, also of course to the Commission Boards, and last but not least to our excellent professional and honorary interpreters. My gratitude for the skilful and devoted services of these persons is none the less if, for practical reasons, I do not mention them all here by name, but refer instead to page 92 of this volume where their names are to be found in an extract from the Congress Programme. I extend warm and respectful thanks to Iiis Majesty the King who graciously consented to grant the Congress his patronage. The Swedish government has supported the Congress financially and in other ways, and the Municipal Authority of Stockholm has kindly placed premises and other requisites at our disposal. The Fund for Forestry Research and certain private companies have given the Congress economic support. Some governmental institutions, especially the Land Survey Board, the Geographical Survey Office, and the Royal Institute of Technology, which, in virtue of their extensive contacts with photogrammetry may well be counted as members of the »photogrammetric family» have in many different ways assisted the Congress Board in its work, and I have great pleasure in extending sincere thanks to them all.
