Hide Profile

Founded in 1923 by Moses B. Cotsworth who became its director; its aim was to establish a fixed calendar of thirteen equal months of four complete weeks each and the last day of the year as the Year-day; the IFCL had its seat in London and helped to form national committees to propagate the so-called simplification of the calendar; the IFCL had initially the sympathy and some support of the League of Nations but in the late 1930s the League of Nations ended its activities on calendar reform because of lack of consensus; the IFCL died a slow death.
