Pursuant to the definition of vexillology in FIAV Constitution article 2, the Board, absent extraordinary circumstances, will not recommend the admission of a new Member if the primary purpose of the applicant is the patriotic promotion of one or more flags. STATUS OF THE FLAG RESEARCH CENTER The following letter concerning The Flag Research Center was read October 4, 2014 at NAVA 48 in New Orleans: Dear friends and colleagues, With The Flag Research Center Collection's move to the Briscoe Center at The University of Texas, my work as a consultant and as editor of The Flag Bulletin has given way to completing personal flag projects, some long neglected because of the time needed to run the business of The Flag Research Center. But the work of vexillology must continue. While my Collection is no longer at 3 Edgehill Road, The Flag Research Center itself has not disappeared as an institution. I am pleased to announce that the FRC is now a part of The Trust for Vexillology, a nonprofit corporation that financially supports the Collection. I have known the Trust's directors—Scot Guenter, Hugh Brady, and Charles Spain—for many, many years, and they helped me place the Collection at the Briscoe Center. I have every confidence that they will carry on the work that I began in 1962. As the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vlaggenkunde, Société Suisse de Vexillologie, North American Vexillological Association, and Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques rapidly approach their fiftieth anniversaries, I commend the hard work by so many over the decades. Their names are too numerous to list, as are the vexillological associations and institutions they have established. But although I can no longer join you in person, I have fond memories of colleagues and friends, absent and present, who make our common undertaking a joy. We know that men and women are led by flags. I am proud to see that the work of organized, serious vexillology has taken hold, and you are helping to explain the human condition through the study of these bits of cloth. Keep working! Sincerely, Whitney Smith, PhD IN MEMORIAM FIAV notes with sorrow the death of the following vexillologists: John Collier, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (FSA) June 26 2012 Mark S.
