Institute of Advanced Study Society held on 14th December,

even if the Institute
is renamed after Radhakrishnan. Anothyr view was that the full name, Sarvepalli S. Radhakrishnan,
was more appropriate
to indicate precisely the person
in question. After a good deal of discussion, the President asked the members
to indicate
whether
or not they were in favour of renaming
Out of the 25 members present,
the
six were in favour of renaming
and 10 were against its renaming, while the others abstained.
