PRESIDENT'SADDRESS.
After extending a cordial welcome to the newly elected members of the Society, President Ingersoll dwelt briefly on the many unsolved problems in otolaryngology, notably those concerning deafness. He called attention to the existence of various research funds and prizes available for investigation and offered by several of the Societies, and suggested that these might all preferably be controlled and administered by a single committee appointed for this purpose. Praise was bestowed on the achievements of the Board of Otolaryngology in its attempt to standardize the qualifications for the specialty and to stimulate the attainment of the highest possible ideals. In closing, the president urged that all members proposing new names should recommend only those men who would truly strive to maintain the high standards set before them.
