Hungarian Studies Newsletter, 1981 (9. évfolyam, 27-30. szám)
1981 / 30. szám
The 25th anniversary of the uprising in 1956 inspired a whole series of speeches and programs the world over. A committee to commemorate the events and headed by members of the U.S. Congress, in cooperation with the Sino- Soviet Institute of the George Washington U. in Washington, D.C. arranged a scholarly symposium chaired by Charles F. Elliott (George Washington U.). The first of the two sessions reconsidered the events of 1956 in a historical perspective. Panel members were Ferenc Vali (U. of Massachusetts), Yuri Olkhovsky (George Washington U.), and András Pogány (Seton Hall U.). The second session, with the participation of William S. Shepard (Department of State), Francis Miko (Library of Congress) and Tom Kennedy (Toronto Sun Newspaper Syndicate), assessed the consequences of the uprising. □ MISCELLANEOUS The American Association for the Study of Hungarian History at its annual meeting in December 1981 elected Steven Bela Vardy (Duquesne U.) as its president for 1982. He succeeded Bela K. Király (Brooklyn Coll.). Also elected was Joseph Held (Rutgers U.) to vice-presidency. The other officers remained unchanged. Edited by Edsel Walter Stroup (U. of Akron), the AASHH published its 1981 newsletter, a 17-page treasure trove of highly useful data on Hungarian studies, meetings, publications, organizations and activities. It reports on the annual prize given by AASHH, which for 1979/1980 was awarded to Charles W. Ingrao for his essay “Guerilla Warfare in Early Modern Europe: The Kuruc War, 1703-1711We also learned from the newsletter that papers of the symposium on Transylvania held at Kent State U. in May 1979, may be published in the not too distant future. The AASHH marked its 10th anniversary in 1980. It is a scholarly organization, though membership is not tied to academic rank or affiliation. Actually, the only requirement is to have interest in Hungarian history. For more information or copies of the newsletter write to Dr. Edsel Walter Stroup, P.O. Box 4738, Cleveland, OH 44126. □ The University Press of America (James E. Lyons, managing editor, 4720 Boston Way, Lanham, MD 20801) has invited the American Association for the Study of Hungarian History to join its co-publishing program under which members could publish their theses, dissertations, or other scholarly papers. The only firm requirement is that manuscripts can be submitted only with the approval of the AASHH. Editorial control rests with the AASHH.

This posthumus publication contains ten important essays of Venczel (1913-1972), and an introduction by István Imreh. The focus is on social science research methodology and on the Hungarian minority in Transylvania. Venczel was a master of both.
