The burden of making this meeting, and every meeting of our twenty-first fiscal year, successful, rests upon your attendance and our very efficient Topics Committee, who are searching every nook and corner of America's most productive genius to furnish our programs with a never-ending list of interesting and entertaining papers. This committee's work for the coming season is well under way, and the high standard of our past offerings will be maintained, if not excelled, can be assured.
