A report is presented to the American Geriatrics Society on the 24th Annual Conference on Aging, sponsored by the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, and held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, June 7–9, 1971. Plenary sessions, workshops, panel presentations and discussion groups filled half a week of endeavor concerning “The Care of Old People—Creating the Humane Environment.” A description of old people in need of care was combined with issues and achievements, nudging the economics of health goals along the way. The mobilization of organized groups of retired persons, with a political potential, was an outstanding feature.
