Abstract

In humble gratitude I make a metaphorical genuflex for the distinction bestowed on me by election to preside over one of the oldest and most important sections of the greatest medical organization in the world. Truly it is an honor to be classed with the illustrious predecessors in this office—men who have been honored and revered by their colleagues not only in this country but all over the world where progressive ophthalmology is known. We are living in an advanced age. Progress is so rapid that it seems wise to pause for a moment in this mad rush to indulge in a bit of introspection. Are we adhering to the principles long established by our predecessors? Are we not inclined to indulge somewhat in commercialism in the wild rush for things which are supposed to be progressive? Is not the multiplicity of apparatus a temptation to indulge in commercialism? While
