The General Assembly in Aachen went very well overall, both in terms of content and organisation. Since the founding of the Görres Society in 1876, the General Assembly has not only been a kind of trans-disciplinary congress at which lectures are held in the science sections, but has also always been associated with an accumulation of meetings of the various bodies - above all the Board of Directors, Section Heads and the Finance Committee.

Chief editor Guido Horst has published in "Die Tagespost" a snappy and encouraging article on the Roman Institute of the Görres Society on the occasion of its eleven-year activity report. Horst, who lived in Rome for a long time and who meanwhile visits the Eternal City again for important events, is more familiar with the Campo Santo and its complex but lively realities grouped around the German cemetery than almost anyone else. In the meantime, there is also a supporting membership of the Roman Institute for all those who are not privileged to live in Italy but have a heart for Rome and the historical Eldorado (see our "Hall of Fame").
