Extract

I am proud to have become your President for the year, and I trust that your confidence in me will be justified by events. It is with some regret that I step into the place of your immediate Past President, and I am not willing to do so until I pay my tribute to his work as President of the Association. Together with your Honorary Secretary he has carried the Association through a period of great strain: he has left it with an enhanced reputation for, I might say, charm and sweet reasonableness. That is in tune with what we preach, and accords well with the beliefs of most of us who know that Psychiatry has a place on the map, and it gives to us an assurance of its value to the world of mankind.
