Extract

May I, in the first place, thank you most sincerely for the honour you have done me by electing me as your President during the coming year. Whilst the names of my distinguished predecessors enhance this honour in my eyes, at the same time I cannot help a feeling of humility and inadequacy at the thought of attempting to follow in the footsteps of those illustrious members of our profession whose names shine ever more brightly as the march of time reveals more clearly their contribution to our specialty and to the welfare of the mentally ill.
