Schermerhorn and of Michael Boechat, so serious in each case that it prevented coming to the sessions, though each wrote a letter. Truman J. Spencer, also, was unavoidably absent, though he had hoped to the very eve of the convention to be able to attend. To have had a part in electing Robert Telschow president was one of the great satisfactions of my career in amateur journalism. When I met him at the Fossils' Reunion in April, I was deeply impressed with his earnestness and his deep interest in the welfare of the National. Furthermore, he seems to have the abilities so conspicuously lacking in Miss Jorgensen-- age, experience, persistence, grasp of administrative detail, and qualities of genuine leadership. H is not likely to be satisfied merely with obtaining the honor of his office. No one who heard his statement of faith and principles, both at his inauguration and again at the banquet, has any fear that he will leave undone anything that he can do to furnish the association with executive achievement. He is deeply imbued with the belief, as James Morton expressed it, that it is the function of the president to furnish the membership with the outstanding principle of activity. It is a deep satisfaction that the members who did not attend the convention voted strongly for him and that the large majority of the convention equally approved of him. He enters upon his administration with strong support. The most conspicuous and most regrettable absence from the convention was, of course, that of Miss Jorgensen. There had been good reason to expect that she would attend. Those who had looked in vain for her to issue a paper or two to round out her administration felt that by attending the convention she might atone for the great indifference to the association that had honored her. Deep disappointment was felt when she did not appear and did not communicate in
