COMMITTEE ON MEMBERSHIP,

ELMER E. STEVENSON, Chairman.

PRESIDENT KEITH: Gentlemen, you have heard the report of the Committee on Membership. What is your

pleasure with reference to that report?

If there is no objection, the report of the committee will be received and spread upon the minutes, and those named will be declared elected members of the Association. The Chair hears no objection, and it is so ordered.

The next matter on the program, is the so-called address by the President, which, I assure you, will not be long, as I have been suffering from rheumatism for the past few weeks, and I want to say to you that it is the kindly faces and the kindly feelings you have shown me in days gone by that have brought me here today, and not because of the ministrations of a doctor. I wanted to see you again, and thus I am here, and I am glad to be here. (Applause.)

(For President's address, see page 86.)

PRESIDENT KEITH: I will say to you, gentlemen, that I said to our Vice-President, Judge Montgomery, when I came out here, that I was going to feel free to call him to the Chair at any moment, so that you will not be surprised at the change of presiding officers at any time.
