| Section Presidents | |
| Traditionally, Sections have brought together the specialists in particular fields or areas of research. Therefore, as the interests of the specialists change and as new groups of specialists are formed, the names and fields of the Sections also must undergo change. In the following list of Section Presidents, several such changes in the names and scientific breadth of Sections are noted. | |
