Abstract: With the arrival of December thirty-first this year, I shall have closed my two-year term of office as your President. It is with mingled feelings of relief and regret that I shall turn over to my successor the honor and the responsibilities of the Presidency of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. I can say to him that this job is not a sinecure. Any man who takes seriously his responsibilities as the chief officer of our Society is going to work long and hard during his two years of incumbency. Our constitution and by-laws wisely provide for a decentralization of executive functions and it has been my good fortune and pleasure to have as fellow officers and governors of this Society, some of the finest, most conscientious and hard-working associates that any chief executive could wish for. If the SMPE has made progress during my administration, it is because of the fine support I have had from these men.
