President, M. le Dr. Huchard, membre de l'Academie de Médecine. ... It had become the custom to hand on the Presidency of the Congress to the President of the next host Society. This suggests that Dr Huchard was President of the Belgian Vegetarian Society, and that he would have assumed the role of Congress President at the end of the previous Congress in Manchester, England in October 1909. The July 1910 issue of the *Vegetarian Messenger*, reporting on the Congress, included: > ... under the general direction of the Honorary President: Dr. Huchard, member of the Académic de Médecine, who gave the inaugural address on Friday morning, ... > > .... A very good and appreciative notice of the proceedings of the Congress is embodied in the leading article of the *Messager de Belge* (June 14th) which our friend, Dr. Nyssens, has kindly sent to me. The writer has clearly been impressed by the papers read, and makes special refererence to Dr. Huchard's eloquent address. .... We have no further references to Dr Huchard and it is not clear whether he attended any other Congresses. - **[3rd World Vegetarian Congress, Brussels, Belgium, 1910](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-main-congress-wvc10-index.html)** Contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1019 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4294:members-council-dr-huchard&catid=208","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4294:members-council-dr-huchard&catid=208","name":"Dr Huchard — IVU International Council","description":"IVU Congress President, 1909-1910, and member of the committee that organised the 1910 Congress in Brussels.","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#international-council"}],"about":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/huchard"},"mainEntity":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/huchard"},"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/huchard","name":"Dr Huchard","description":"IVU Congress President, 1909-1910, and member of the committee that organised the 1910 Congress in Brussels.","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4294:members-council-dr-huchard&catid=208","memberOf":[{"@type":"OrganizationRole","roleName":"Member of the IVU Executive Committee","memberOf":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"startDate":"1909","endDate":"1910","description":"Represented: Belgium"}]}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Interviews", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "members", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "council", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "Dr Huchard", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4294-members-council-dr-huchard.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4294-members-council-dr-huchard.html" }, "headline": "Dr Huchard", "description": "Dr Huchard: Congress President 1909-1910 The first mention we have of Dr Huchard is the March 1910 issue of the Vegetarian Messenger (UK Vegetarian Society magazine), a list of the committee responsible for organising the 1910 Congress, in Brussels, includes: ...
