The death of Margaret W. Gerard on January 12, 1954, was a great loss to the psychiatric profession and to her colleagues at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. The Institute staff has established the Margaret Gerard Memorial Fund to be used for research and training in the psycho-analysis of children. Friends and associates of Margaret Gerard who may wish to contribute to this Fund should send their gifts to the Institute, 664 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago 11, Illinois.
The 19th International Psycho-Analytical Congress will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from Sunday, 24 July to Thursday, 28 July, 1955.
The Programme Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Phyllis Greenacre (211 Central Park West, New York 24, N.Y.) and Dr. Ernst Kris (135 Central Park West, New York 23, N.Y.), request that all papers be submitted not later than 20 February, 1955.
On the anniversary of the birth of Sigmund Freud, 6 May, 1954, in the presence of about 200 guests who included the two Deputy Mayors of the City of Vienna, the Rector of the University, and the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the outer wall of 19 Berggasse, Vienna.
During the 6th Annual Meeting of the World Federation for Mental Health, at Vienna, in August 1953, a number of people who visited this house discovered that it was not marked in any way, and spontaneously made the suggestion that the whole group should subscribe towards the cost of a commemorative tablet. The Austrian Society for Mental Hygiene contributed the balance of the funds and made all the arrangements for the erection of the plaque. The inscription on it reads:
In diesem Haus lebte und wirkte Sigmund Freud, in den Jahren 1891–1938, der Schöpfer und Begründer der Psychoanalyse. Gestiftet von der 6. Jahresversammlung der World Federation for Mental Health im August, 1953.
Professor H. C. Rümke, of Utrecht, President
