Conflaft 1932. by Joumnal of the 9e Aesodation of the Sa t ofm PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS LAWYERS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW By E. C. FLooD To have served as President of this Association has been an honor, a privilege and a pleasure, which I greatly appreciate. I am e4ually appreciative of the fine cooperation and the painstaking work of all the officers and members of the Executive Council and of the Chairmen and members of the various Committees.
