Not quite. To fill in the general public, the most important reason for the formation of the SCD was that at the time, the Academy had a limitation of membership (seventy active member maximum). The SCD never really split off, but was founded independently. There was always a big overlap in memberships though, and since the two groups had basically the same purpose, when both recently entered a period of relative quiet, they merged to form the ACD, which I am pleased to report is flourishing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael E.
