The President's Address

On occasions like this, when the person who has been honored by his fellow members by election to the office of president is expected to give an account of his stewardship, three things may properly be expected from him. First, a brief historical glance; second, a general review of the year's work; and, third, some attempt to look into the future. Today, at our seventh annual meeting, speaking as one of the little group who met in March, 19;17, and founded this Associa tion, it is a pleasure to me to note that all but one of the original group of members are still with us, and active in the cause. One of the group has passed away and, at an appropriate time during our exercises, reference will be made to him and to our late beloved president, Dr. Hall, and to others of our mem bers who have passed into the Great Beyond since last we assembled. As the years have gone by, minor changes have been made in details of organization, but the original statement of the objects for which we are associated still stands; and is as pertinent today as when it was first written.
