The Academy is obligated to many for assistance in arranging for this conference. Our appreciation is particularly due to the many governors, mayors and public officials who appointed delegates to the conference, for these delegates gave to the conference a seriousness of purpose that was felt by those who addressed the conference as well as by those who attended or participated in the discussions. We also gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the program committee. The following, among others, were particularly helpful in planning the program: Charles R. Van Hise, Chairman, Gifford Pinchot, Irving Fisher, Alonzo E. Taylor, Clarence Sears Kates, Harry Hayward, Samuel S. Fels, Mrs. N. D. Hitchcock and M. T. Phillips. CLYDE L. KING, Editor. |
