The official representative of the American Geriatrics Society reports on the 27th Annual Conference on Aging held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, August 5–7, 1974. The subject matter revolved about the aged population and State‐wide systems of education. Plenary sessions, workshops, seminars and discussion groups filled three busy days. Higher education played a most important role in planning the training of professional and administrative personnel in the various fields of gerontology. Research programs were emphasized, as were educational opportunities for the elderly.
