Talk:Rationalist Association

Presidency
I'm interested in compiling a list of Presidents of the RPA. A couple are easy to reference: 1955-1970 Bertrand Russell, 1982-1999 Hermann Bondi. Others


 * In 1916 Herbert Samuel Leon
 * Graham Wallas
 * 1930 Harold Laski
 * Cyril Dean Darlington
 * Charles Marsh Beadnell


 * Current President of the Rationist Association is Jonathan Miller.

 * There's a list in Bill Cooke's The Blasphemy Depot (2003):


 * Graham Wallas, 1926-1929
 * Harold Laski, 1929-1933
 * Lord Harry Snell, 1933-1940
 * Surgeon Rear Admiral C M Beadnell, 1940-1947
 * CD Darlington, 1948-1949
 * AE Heath, 1949-1954
 * Bertrand Russell, 1955-1970
 * Baroness Wootton, 1970-1973
 * Lord Ritchie Calder, 1973-1981
 * Hermann Bondi, 1981-


 * Bondi died in September 2005. Jonathan Miller became president in 2006.


 * Herbert Leon is listed as a Chair of the Board of Directors, 1913-1922, not as President.

 * Bondi according to several reliable sources was the president (1982-1999), not up to 2005. Who replaced Bondi? In 2006 it was Jonathan Miller, and now it is Laurie Taylor but I do not know when Taylor took over from Miller. Anyone know the dates? I have a big foot (talk) 08:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
