Comments:
There was a visit to the famous Teleki Library and the Bolyai Memorial exhibition where Professor Tibor Weszely presented letters and manuscripts of the Teleki Library. The participants walked to the Calvinist cemetery and laid flower wreaths on the grave of the Bolyais, and to the Pseudosphere monument. The participants also visited the Palace of Culture. There were 60 participants at the conference from Australia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Scotland and Venezuela.
