Abstract
THE sixty-fifth meeting of the French Association J. for the Advancement of Science was held at Nice during September 9-14, 1946, under the presidency of Prof. Paul Montel. The opening meeting was held in the great hall of the Centre Universitaire Mediterranean, which had been placed at the disposal of the Congress, and served as the general headquarters. Speeches of welcome were made by the Prefet of the Alpes Maritimes, the Mayor of Nice, and by Prof. Mario Roques, who pointed out that although Nice had the reputation of being a town of pleasure, it was also a town for meditation and study. Then followed addresses by representatives of the foreign delegates to the Congress, including H. Munro Fox (Britain), de Selys-Longchamps (Belgium), Wavre (Switzerland), Burgers (Holland), Bydzovsky (Czechoslovakia), Sergescu (Rumania), and Kepinski(Poland). Finally, Prof. Montel delivered his presidential address on the role of mathematics in the ordinary life of individuals.
