Gentlemen, — A year ago, at the beginning of my twentieth 

 year as a member of the Institute, you elected me to the highest 

 office in your gift, an honor which I appreciate more because I am 

 fully conscious that a better selection might well have been made 

 in order to maintain the standard established by my predecessors. 



In opening the forty-fifth session of the Institute by a short 

 review of the events of the past year, it is a pleasure to be able to 

 report that we have met with no losses either through death or 

 resignation.
