Letter to the Editor—Letter to the Editor of Operations Research

This Letter to the Editor of Operations Research is really a letter to the membership of ORSA. I am writing it as a last duty of the oldest living inhabitant of the Council. Having had the privilege of serving as a Council member continuously since the Society was founded, and having completed my long term as Council member at the May 1958 meeting, I am taking the privilege of reading a lecture to you, the members of the Society.
