CZECHOSLOVAK SOCIETY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES |
SVU FELLOWS
Many
members of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences, those of long standing as well
as the newest, have reached levels of professional excellence in their respective
fields as scholars, scientists, educators, technologists, writers, artists, and in other
creative vocations.
To recognize those of outstanding achievement by electing them as Fellows of the Society,
SVU is opening its Fellowship program as envisaged in the SVU By-Laws.
The award of Fellowship honors the elected individuals. However, the College of Fellows is
also to become yet another source of a continuing critical appraisal of the conduct of the
Society's affairs, its effective governance, its adherence to professional standards, and
of the maintenance of its democratic and non-partisan character.
The award of the status of a Fellow is not conceived as a recognition of only those who
have reached the zenith of their creative, life-long work. Many men and women, with much
fruitful work still lying ahead of them, may have already attained levels of
professional achievement warranting their nomination for SVU Fellowship.
The SVU By-Laws charge the Society's Council with administering the Fellows program and,
following a professional scrutiny of the proposed candidates for the status of a Fellow,
with their election by a simple majority of the voting members of the Council.
