Philadelphia – 1937 Philcon

This is an important convention. Philadelphia, 1937 — the third US science fiction convention. It didn't have a name but It was still important because of the speech which highlighted a polarization of fandom that up to then had not been as pronounced. Please see Mutation or Death by John B. Michel for more information.
