Abstract

During 1974 the American Astronomical Society is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its founding. To be precise historically, however, there are at least two problems with such a commemoration. First, when the association was founded in 1899, its name was not “The American Astronomical Society,” and second, another association with precisely that name had nominally been founded at least fifteen years earlier!
