Present at the first meeting. Name withheld at their request.

The ninth chair is recorded in Ada Merrick's ledger for the meeting of 19 December 1953 and for every meeting until March 1961, after which it is not recorded again.

The Institute holds an account in this person's hand, four sentences long, undated and unsigned. It has never been published, and by long-standing agreement it is not read aloud.

Members occasionally ask about the ninth founder. The standing answer is that the Institute records what it is given, and it was given a request for privacy.
