28 SOCIETY OF BIBLIOPHILS · WEIMAR Communications Mar 3, 1942 Due to the economic restrictions in the printing industry, the appearance of the "Wandelhalle" had to be stopped for the time being. Members are asked to accept this measure of war with the prospect of the Wandelhalle that the bibliophile newsletter should appear more frequently and, above all, more regularly after the abolition of the restrictions. Until then, the old practice of post-justification will be resumed by means of communications. Last year's report on the annual meeting in Würzburg should be reworked. About the meeting, which was favored by the most beautiful autumn weather, a little more than 150 participants of the year had arrived. In the sign of the memory of Christian Assembly Dietrich Grabbe was Werner Deubel's festive lecture, which presented the poet as the forerunner and giver of a national heroic view of life that has become visible today. Among the donations of books that have been distributed, there were particularly works that deal with the artistic and scenic appeals of the conference venue in a figurative or poetic way. Wilhelm Schäfer's anecdote "Das dreife Deputat" by Gerhard Schulze "beim Scheiden aus dem Amtsprecher" was donated as the only private print. The most important item on the agenda was the election of the President. Börries, Frhr. Election of the president of Münchhausen had repeatedly asked to release him because of his health. Secret Councillor Volkmann, who headed the meeting as Deputy President, gave the Assembly the proposal, which was made by both Presidents, which the Administrative Advisory Council also endorsed, to grant the Presidential title to the head of the Reich and Reich Governor Baldur von Schirach. This proposal was accepted with all-round applause. August Friedrich Vel- mede was able to express his willingness to take over the office and to thank him for the election as the representative of the Reich's head. Börries, Fr. von Münchhausen, was appointed honorary president as a sign of gratitude for the service he has rendered to society for seven years in a spiritually open and knightly manner. In the meantime Reichsleiter von Schirach took over the official business and regrouped the The Board of Management after gaps had already been found and Gerhard had asked new Board of Directors Schulze for replacement with regard to his age and occupational overload. The Board is now also a member of the Board: Deputy President: Secret Councillor Dr. Ernst Volkmann, Gdańsk. Secretary: August Friedrich Velmede, Berlin, who is known as the editor of the book "Eternal Germany". N0O8N
