摘要：After I was elected to this committee in Atlantic City, both Miss Brinton and Mr. Frankenberger urged me to become chairman of the Executive Commitee, saying that there was very littlework to do, and assuring me of their active support in all business transactions of the Association. I pleaded inexperience in handling society matters and ignorance of the working policies of our Association, but my objections were overruled and I was forced to accept the chairmanship with grave misgivings in my mind of the necessary ability to cope with a situation which looked to me as dubious and uncertain for the future affairs of our Association. After holding office for one year, I must confess that the picture of "very little work" suggested by my associates was greatly overdrawn and not true in perspective if actual work accomplished is taken into consideration. Nevertheless, I am free to state that the work has been interesting, that our committee has worked in harmony throughout the year, that we have been in constant touch with each other by telephone and correspondence. covering all the important matters presented to it for executive action. It has even been a privilege to serve the Association during the year, and the objective we had in mind was to aid our members and advance the interests of our society in its several activities. What has been entailed in that service, you shall hear in brief form. It has been to us a tremendous undertaking.
