Discon

The 1963 Worldcon held August 31 - September 2 at the Statler-Hilton Hotel, Washington, DC. GoH: Murray Leinster. Isaac Asimov was Toastmaster. Chaired by George Scithers.

1963 Hugo Results. (The Hugo rules were changed at Discon so that series became ineligible for Hugos: only individual works were henceforth eligible.)

Chairman George Scithers wrote an extensive report on the convention, telling the whole story. It's a wonderful example of what running a Worldcon was like in simpler days.
