em you will find them well reported in the summer Issue of Home and Country 1949. This is pretty much a brief outline of what took place at that Conference 25 years ago. it was voted a tremendous success and year after year has proved itself with increased Lll- tendsnce and renewed interest. I know this 25th Conference will be an out- standing one. If you ponder what you yourself have gained from your Institute experience of many years, I am sure you‘ll decide that one of your chief rewards was the making of friends.
