LANDHEER I Number XIV June 1965 THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER At the end of June, it will be three years since your present officers assumed their duties. They started with great enthusiasm, knew that they were still pioneers in work which had started only three years ago, they continued the work which had begun and explored new avenues of activity, and are now at the point where they will turn over their offices to a new generation. The new officers will continue in unabated enthusiasm. The past three years were indicative of the progress which we may expect in the future and of the areas to which particular attention should be given. We made progress in numerous areas. Some of this pro- gress may be well identifiable, such as in the area of communication among our members, in the Bulletin and in personal visits, in our first publication in book form, and in our affiliation with professional organizations in thb field of librarianship and laws Other types of progress seemed to be intangible - the area of goodwill among law librarians of various countries - until the meeting of April 24, 1965 took place.

The new officers, elected in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors and headed by K. Howard Drake as President, will take over on July 1, 1965. The other officers and the elected members of the Board of Directors are known to you through prior communications in connection with the election procedures. In the meantime, the Board of Directors will appoint the remaining four Directors. As your President, I want to take this opportunity to ex- press my gratitude to the many members who made the past three years a deep experience and to urge you to lend your full support to the new officers to whom our best wishes are due. Progress there will be. But it will be hard earned progress, and aims such as the promotion of the idea of a World Law Library or World Law Libraries will consume, not
