EMS Secretaries
The Edinburgh Mathematical Society was founded in 1883. The first officers were elected at the first meeting of the Society which took place at 8 p.m. on Friday 2 February 1883 in the Mathematics Classroom of Edinburgh University. The first secretary served for less than a year, with the second secretary elected to serve from the beginning of academic year 1883-84. The Society had one secretary from its foundation in 1883 until 1971 when J D P Meldrum became a second secretary and J L Mott, who had been appointed in 1960, continued as secretary. From that time on the Society has had two honorary secretaries.
