Why didn´t the president visit our section?

THE MOST ENJOYABLE part of being President of the Institute is the round of Section visits which is by tradition one of the President´s duties. Everywhere he goes he is most cordially received. The hospitality of the Sections is apparently limited only by the adherence of the President to his schedule. He has the opportunity to meet old friends and to make new ones. He has the privilege of informing the members about the institute´s work and its problems. He gains new and broader viewpoints on the organization´s activities and senses the needs and aspirations of the membership. He receives inspiration from the interest and enthusiasm of the Section officers. If he takes the relatively little additional time required to travel by automobile he sees the country at close range and enjoys Nature in all her moods. In a very real sense, his tours are the equivalent of a series of vacations.
