It is my duty and also a pleasure to address you as your president on the thirty-first anniversary of our Association. This honor befalls few men and comes but once during the span of life.
We are privileged to meet in the greatest Capital on earth, the city that has imbued one hundred and twenty million people with hope of a New Day and a New Deal. Washington is the one city that every American longs to visit. The historic, scientific, governmental, judicial, political and economic phases of our daily life are all exemplified here. We are particularly fortunate to meet in Washington a t a time while Congress is in session, which presents the opportunity of witnessing its activities from the galleries of the House and the Senate.
It is customary for the president to present to the membership an outline of the activities of our Association for the year entrusted to his stewardship. It has been my endeavor to carry out these duties and responsibilities in a manner that would best serve our Association. I hope in this particular that I have given satisfactory service. My administration has been short, owing to the change in the convention date. Therefore, I shall not burden you with a lengthy important matters only.
address but shall confine myself to the more C . T. GILBERT.
