For

Hi

What does "for" mean in:

I s uppose that no one of us here this morning would care to call him-
self a full-fledged student of the history of science-certainly not I and if this be true, it is also a pity. For this particular session of the Society for Ethnomusicology begins a meeting whose content in the next two and a half days should, at least, mark a new phase in the development of our discipline.


Means the begin a meeting for the propose of holding a session, or it means 'because'?


Thans in advance
