This talk concerns the friendship of Attila T. Szabó with Dezso Pais, a scholar who determined the intellectual atmosphere of the Society for decades. Dezso Pais, professor of linguistics at the university of Budapest, legendary editor of the 'Hungarian Language', a prominent figure of the Budapest school of linguistics, became aware of the work of the young Transylvanian linguist rather early on. In the thirties, he was one of the first to publish Szabó's articles in the journal of the Society, and to aid his professional development with good advice and personal encouragement. During his stays in Budapest, Attila T. Szabó actively participated at the meetings of the Society, and made the acquaintance of the members of 'Kruzhok', a fraternity of linguists. After the Second World War, in the first decades of the communist regime, direct personal contacts between Hungarian scholars living in Romania and those living in Hungary became impossible. In those years, Pais and Szabó had to rest content with exchanging personal letters. The talk presents interesting details of those precious documents of the history of Hungarian linguistics.

The jubilee meeting, attended by members, guests, and the general public in great numbers, was opened by Loránd Benko, President of the Society. The presidential address was followed by a poem by Sándor Remenyik, 'The verb'. The 'Pro Musica' choir of the Music Department of Eötvös Loránd University, then sang 'We came to celebrate' by Hassler and 'A fair prayer' by Kodály. The final item of the artistic programme was the poem 'Hungarian Language' by Emil Ábrányi. These artistic items were followed by introductory speeches. A letter of salutation written on the occasion of the centenary by Ferenc Mádl, President of the Hungarian Republic, was read out by Loránd Benko. Szilveszter E. Vizi, President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, then took the floor and greeted the Society and those present on behalf of the Academy. This part of the programme was concluded by Loránd Benko's talk entitled 'Homage to the memory of the founders'. Then congratulatory speeches were odelivered on behalf of scholarly societies from Hungary and abroad. The Estonian Mother Tongue Society (Emakeele Selts) was represented by Tonu Seilenthal (Tartu), and the Societas Uralo-Altaica by its managing director Eberhard Winkler (Göttingen).

The Society of Hungarian Linguistics, a scholarly society of public utility, was founded in 1904 in Budapest. The main task of the Society has been, from the very beginnings, to promote an all-round scholarly investigation of the Hungarian language, to arouse general interest in the results of linguistics and spreading knowledge in that field, as well as to assist language development activities with respect to Hungarian. The author embeds his survey of the history of the Society celebrating its one hundredth anniversary in 2004 into a social historical and history-of-scholarship framework. He draws up the circumstances that fostered the foundation of the Society, commemorates the persons who first organised the Society and started its journal The Hungarian Language and its series of Publications of the Society of the Hungarian Linguistics, and discusses the aims with which the Society was founded. The history of the Society had its flourishing years and hard times, too (world wars, ideological changes, economic prosperity and poverty) but, thanks to its members and, above all, its able leaders, its activities were carried on among all those changes of circumstances. Up to the early sixties, it was the single most important scholarly body of linguistics in Hungary, representing Hungarian linguistic studies in the widest possible sense and uniting almost the totality of linguists in this country. Even at the beginning of the third millennium, among radically changed and changing circumstances, the Society of Hungarian Linguistics is the most populous scholarly society devoted to the investigation of the Hungarian language and to that of languages and linguistic issues in general.

The second half of the nineteenth century and the first few years of the twentieth were the golden age of the foundation of scholarly societies in Hungary. Approaching the millennium of the Hungarian Conquest (895-896) and that of the foundation of the Hungarian State (1000), increasingly more attention was devoted to what can be called national branches of scholarship: history, ethnography, linguistics, and literary scholarship. Following the foundation of the Hungarian Historical Society and the Hungarian Society of Ethnography (but prior to that of the Society of Hungarian Literary History), linguists in this country founded their own scholarly society, the Society of Hungarian Linguistics, in 1904. The publication of the journal of the Society, The Hungarian Language, started in 1905. Representatives of adjoining fields of scholarship had an important share in the foundation of both the Society and the journal, as well as in keeping them going. Therefore, a fundamental principle of modern scholarship, interdisciplinarity, was attained from the very beginning. The foundation of the Society and of the journal also signalled the appearance of a new generation of linguists. Zoltán Gombocz, János Melich, József Balassa, Vilmos Tolnai, etc., continuing the endeavours of their predecessors but working with a more up-to-date methodology and wider international outlook, raised Hungarian linguistics to the level of the period. - The program of the Society can obviously only be measured against the circumstances, possibilities, and demands of the given period. But even seen from today, the plans and intentions laid down in the various documents and declarations can be deemed as being ahead of their time. In particular, these included general ambitions like publishing the results of linguistics for a wider audience, in a comprehensible form and in terms that are clear for all, as well as taking up a fight against dilettante pronouncements on language. With respect to the internal themes of the world of linguistics, the program included the investigation of various branches of historical linguistics, that of literary language and style, of the Language Reform, of specialised terminologies, of the dialects of Hungarian, and assistance in the practical tasks of language cultivation.
