Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Annual Convention: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Trenton, New Jersey, October, 26th to 29th, 1932 Among the many hundreds of delegates who registered at Phila delphia were representatives of all the states on the Atlantic Seaboard from Maine to Florida, as well as some from other sections of the country. As always - to our great and continuing satisfaction - the ladies, both members and non-members of our faithful and efficient Auxiliary, were present in large numbers. They not only added to the delights of the banquet, but were quite as faithful in attendance on the business sessions. The addresses covered a wide range. There' were tributes of faith ful co-workers, both living and dead; reminiscences of early days; descriptions of work that has been finished; work that is under way, and work that must yet be done. All these and many more - some grave, some gay; some light and airy, some solid and technical - are fully set down in the pages which follow, where he may read who will. The banquet was a most delightful occasion and was thoroughly enjoyed - except by that considerable number of unfortunate ones who were unable to get in, because even the great banquet hall of the bellevue-stratford was not large enough to accommodate all who desired to attend. The serious addresses were listened to attentively, and the entertainment features which were widely varied, brought storms of laughter and applause.
