The course represented a milestone in its scope and content, continuing until the federation of Case Institute with Western Reserve in 1967. Under the aegis of the Hungarian Central Committee for Books and Education, Ferenc Somogyi continued teaching Hungarian history now to a younger adult audience. He established the Institute of Hungarology in 1970. From 1966 he served as secretarygeneral of the Árpád Academy and from 1970 as director of the Institute of Hungarology. Books appearing under his own name number twelve, while his smaller scholarly works and other articles number well over 1000. In Hungary he edited numerous journals and collections. For the last 14 years he has edited the transcripts of the annual Congress and Cultural Conference of the free world’s Hungarian intelligentsia, and as mentioned earlier, he has had published four works in the Kárpát Publishing’s series on Hungarian Self-Knowledge. These volumes are: “Küldetés. A magyarság története (“Mission”. History of the Hungarian People), 1973, 656 pages, “Magyar nyelv és irodalom 1825-ig” (Hungarian Language and Literature until 1825), 1975, 242 pages, “Magyar nyelv és irodalom 1825-től 1925-ig. I. Hagyományok” (Hungarian Language and Literature since 1825 until 1925. I. Traditions), 1977, 512 pages, “Faith & Fate: A Short Cultural History of the Hungarian People Through a Millennium” (with Lél Somogyi), 1977, 2908 pages. Ferenc Somogyi is married, with two grown children, and presently lives with his wife Sarolta (who was a social worker and executive secretary in Hungary) in Medina, Ohio, not far from Cleveland. Lél, his son, is a Computer Engineer presently working toward his master’s degree in Management Information Systems. Lél is also an accomplished researcher and co-author of Faith & Fate. Interestingly, this book is dedicated to Tas, son of Professor Somogyi’s daughter, Ildikó, and his generation of Hungarian Americans. Requests for Dr. Somogyi’s publications can be sent to the editor. I am sure that all readers join the writer in thanking Dr. Somogyi for his outstanding efforts, and wish him a long lasting activity along the same lines. — ANNOUNCEMENT — THE HUNGARIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION invites you to its “TRIBUTE TO OUR ANCESTORS” dinner-dance, literature and art displays and bazaar.
