Why didn AALL meet in 1943 and 1944?
The obvious answer is World War II. More specifically, in spring 1943, President Bernita J. Long reported to the members: The Executive Committee of the Association met in Chicago on March 20 and 21[, 1943]. The Committee was faced with the problem of how best to continue the business of the Association during the war emergency. As you know, the Director of Defense Transportation has recommended that all meetings of groups whose activities are not closely related to the war effort be deferred. Because of this recommendation and the sense of uncertainty in regard to future developments, it was the opinion of the Committee that it would be inadvisable to plan for an annual meeting of the Association in 1943. [Announcement by President Long, 36 Law Libr. J. 2, 2 (1943).] Two years later, in 1945 when the Association finally resumed Annual Meetings, President William S. Johnston reported: It delights your President to be able to make this report to you in person, in annual session assemble
