Çï¿ûÊÓƵ

American Çï¿ûÊÓƵ List of Classes and Sections

Since 1815, the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ has elected members by class and section. At that time, the classes were simply Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Natural History; and Moral Sciences, Philology, and Fine Arts.

As fields and specialties have changed over time, the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s classes and sections have evolved. Below is the current class and section list.
