After the Second Boer War, the conference met again in Stellenbosch on 23 January 1903, and reaffirmed the simplification of Dutch orthography. The conference asked Willem Viljoen (a professor of language at Victoria College (the modern-day Stellenbosch University) and a member of the Language Association) to prepare a report on simplification. Viljoen consulted linguists and experts from the Netherlands and Flanders, and on 19 September 1903, the "Commissie voor Taal en Letteren bij de Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde te Leiden" (the Commission for Language and Literature in Leiden at the Society for Dutch Literature) held a meeting which twenty professors attended.
