conveyed to the members, they discussed certain topics,
and the following were approved by them:
-
The membership of those
members who are absent from the assembly meetings
between 3-5 times (given their academic status) with
no plausible excuse will be cancelled. The task of
decision making concerning the examples and
applications of this Act was given over to the Board
of Directors.
-
Given the limited financial
resources of the society, it was decided that, in
the given time, it concentrates on accomplishing the
Project of Compiling the History of Philosophy,
publishing the scientific-research quarterly of the
Society, and holding the related meetings. At the
same time, the Board of Directors was given the
permission to program for other activities in case
of the provision of new financial sources.
-
In order to publish the
notices of the Society, Resalat and Ettela’at were
chosen as the main and the substitute newspapers,
respectively. This Act will be valid until the end
of the activity cycle of the present Board of
Directors.
During the rest of the program,
following the series of the specialized meetings of the
Society, a meeting on the theme of the “Magi” was held.
The speaker was Dr. Qa’im Magami, Professor at Tehran

the end, the attending professors posed their questions
and advanced their criticisms regarding the propounded
subjects and discussed their points. The general
