Société Ramond
The Société Ramond (Ramond Society) is a French learned society devoted to the study of the Pyrenees. It is named after the French politician, geologist, botanist and explorer Louis Ramond de Carbonnières and is based in Bagnères-de-Bigorre.
==Founding==
The society was formed in 1865 (although 1864 is also given as its founding date) in Bagnères-de-Bigorre by Henry Russell (1834–1909), a French-Irish eccentric who made many first ascents in the Pyrenees; Émilien Frossard (1829–1898); and Charles Packe (1826–1896).〔(History of the Société Ramond ), ramond-societe.com, accessed 22 December 2009. (The Société Ramond's website gives both 1864 and 1865 as the society's founding date.)〕 Their first meeting, at which Frossard (with his two sons Charles and Emilien-Sigismond), Packe and Russell came up with the idea for a society to be modelled on the recently formed Alpine Club in London (1857), was on 19 August 1864 at ''l’Hôtel des Voyageurs'' in Gavarnie.〔(History of the observatory on the Pic du Midi de Bigorre ), ramond-societe.com, accessed 22 December 2009〕 Two weeks later at Frossard's house in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, with Farnham Maxwell-Lyte in attendance, the society may be said to have been formed.〔 At this meeting, Russell, a keen mountaineer and along with Packe and Maxwell-Lyte a member of the Alpine Club, argued that all candidates for membership should have climbed at least one Pyrenean peak of three thousand metres or more. Frossard replied that the society was aiming for a large-scale study of the mountain range and not mere acrobatics.〔(The Ramond Society ), pyrenees-passion.info, accessed 22 December 2009〕
The issue of the society's name was the next subject to be broached. Russell, perhaps still angling for a sporting focus, suggested ''Le club des isards'' (the Chamois club).〔 Again Froissard demurred. The society wanted to distinguish itself from traditional academic societies, while still being devoted primarily to the scientific and ethnographic study of the Pyrenees and to the dissemination of knowledge.〔 Ramond, according to Froissard, had excelled in these disciplines and was the best symbol for the new society. This time all were agreed, and so the club was named.〔 The composition of the society's first committee was: Frossard, president; Maxwell-Lyte, vice-president; Russell, secretary; Packe, assistant secretary. Among its earliest members were the geographer Élisée Reclus and the chemist Henry Holy-Claire Deville 〔
