FINAL PLENARY SESSION 
73 
I would ask Mr Wills, the President of the Photogrammetric Society of Great Britain, 
to announce it. 
Mr F. L. Wills (President of the Photogrammetric Society in London): I have 
the honour to speak both on behalf of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors 
and on behalf of my own Society, joint hosts to this Congress. 
Our two Societies had been desirous of offering to the International Society 
some memento of their meeting in London in 1960. We have the permission of your 
Delegates Meeting to offer to the International Society for Photogrammetry, formally 
through the President, a badge of office to be worn by future Presidents of the 
International Society at their discretion upon formal occasions. 
I now formally ask you, Mr President, to enquire whether your Society is 
prepared to accept this token. And I am able to say that, if so, the design will be 
drawn up in conjunction with you, and that the badge will be made with the least 
possible delay. It will most certainly be ready long before you meet again in 1964. 
That the ISP accept with 
gratitude the offer of their hosts 
of the London Congress, the 
Photogrammetric Society and the 
Royal Institution of Chartered 
Surveyors, to present to the ISP 
a badge of office to be worn by 
future Presidents of the ISP at 
their discretion upon formal oc 
casions. 
Resolution 37 (Badge of office) 
Que la S I P accepte avec grati 
tude l’offre des hôtes du Congrès 
de Londres, la Société de Photo- 
grammétrie de Grande-Bretagne 
et la „Royal Institution of Char 
tered Surveyors”, de présenter à 
la SI P un insigne destiné à être 
porté par les futurs Présidents de 
la SI P, à leur gré, lors de mani 
festations officielles. 
Die ISP nimmt mit Dank das 
Angebot ihrer Gastgeber des Lon 
doner Kongresses, der Photo 
grammetric Society und der Royal 
Institution of Chartered Survey 
ors, an, der ISP ein Amtsab 
zeichen zu überreichen, das von 
zukünftigen Präsidenten der ISP 
nach ihrem Ermessen zu formel 
len Anlässen getragen werden soll. 
The President: 1 am so glad that your applause make any words from me 
unnecessary. As an Englishman, and as a member of both these Societies, I should 
find it very difficult to speak adequately on your behalf about this. 
The Secretary-General: Your Delegates Meeting has asked me to make 
an announcement to this Assembly. Four new Members of the ISP have been 
elected by the Delegates Meeting during this Congress. They are: 
the Geodetic and Cartographic Society of Hungary 
the Photogrammetric Society of the German Democratic Republic 
the Photogrammetric Society of South Africa 
the Survey Department, Sudan (General Applause) 
The President: We now come to the next item on the Agenda, a closing 
speech by the out-going President. 
‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said, 
‘To talk of many things: 
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - 
Of cabbages - and kings - 
And why the sea is boiling hot - 
And whether pigs have wings.’ 
When we lack words, or ideas, the poets, particularly the humorous ones, 
are often a help; for indeed I have prepared no formal speech for this occasion. 
We are still too close to the events of the Congress to judge it effectively. But 1 have 
the feeling that our gathering, if not ideal, has not been altogether unsuccessful. For 
that, each one of you here must take some credit. 
I have been really touched by your electing me an Honorary Member of the 
Society. You have reserved this honour in the past for very few people. I am delighted 
to join their ranks. T like, as you know, to treat whatever can advantageously be so
