FOREWORD. 



The following account of the origin and progress 

 of the Club was delivered, in substance, as my 

 Presidential Address, on 16th November, and is now 

 printed in response to many requests at that time and 

 since. My purpose in compiling it was to help my 

 fellow-members to visualise the time and place in 

 which the Club was born, its nurses in infancy, its 

 tutors in adolescence, and some of its achievements 

 when it reached maturity. A. A. C. 



January, 1938.
