May 6, 1931. The 75th anniversary of Professor Freud's birthday was celebrated. Nineteen Members and Associate Members and several visitors were present.
It was resolved:
1That a cable conveying the congratulations of the Society be sent to Professor Freud immediately. (The cable was sent the same evening.)
2That a suitable Indian present be purchased out of the funds raised by the Society and be sent to Professor Freud, and that the rest of the contributions be sent to the Press of the International Psycho-Analytical Association to which the Society is affiliated.
A sub-committee was appointed to decide upon and purchase a suitable present for Professor Freud. The Sub-committee secured a single piece ivory statuette of Vishnu Ananta Deva from Travancore. The statuette was prepared on the model of an ancient stone statue under the guidance of a great authority on Philology and Iconography. The ornaments and decorations on the statuette were designed by a renowned artist and executed by the foremost ivory worker of Murshidabad, Bengal, under the personal supervision of a famous Indian art connoisseur and collector at Calcutta. The pedestal was also designed by the artist and carved by an Indian carpenter. There was an inscription on the silver plate on the pedestal. (The ivory statuette has been sent to Professor Freud.)
Dr. Sarasilal Sarkar read his letters from Professor Freud, stating that the great old man at the age of 75 took considerable interest in the contributions from workers from distant India.
Dr. S. Mitra gave a sketch of the life of Professor Freud for the information of the visitors present.
