48th Session of CERN Council

Not strictly related to the latest CERN Council session but very much an affair of Council was a farewell dinner held at the end of May for two of Council's most celebrated delegates who now no longer participate directly in its work. Edoardo Amaldi from Italy and Gosta Funke from Sweden both contributed a very great deal to the success of CERN. Some appreciations of their work (Professor Amaldi vol. 12, page 5, Dr. Funke vol. 9, page 377). At the dinner they were presented with albums of photographs which traced major events in the life of CERN and incidents in which they were personally involved during the past twenty years. The presentations were made by Professor W. Gentner, the present President of the Council.
