H.—35

this morning Ido not apprehend any immediate danger of that kind. However, I would like to put my impressions on record. I can only add that we professors have enjoyed the Conference in our academic way. Though we are not optimistic enough to think we have taught the delegates anything, they have taught us a very great deal ; and I shall look back upon this Conference not only as informative, but as very pleasant in its relations with members. I, personally, have gained a number of friends whom I hope I will keep to the end of my days, and lam sure that it is the same with my colleagues around this table. The proceedings concluded with singing of " Auld Lang Syne." The Conference adjourned at 4.55 p.m. (Friday, 18th May, 1928).
