86 HASKINS & SELLS November THE 1927 annual meeting of the members of the firm and managers was held in the executive offices Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 6, 7, and 8. All of the firm members were present except Mr. Kracke whose return to this country has been deferred from time to time on account of professional duties in connection with the Berlin office. All of the American practice offices were represented except San Diego. Pressure of engagements prevented Mr. Davies from leaving the office for the length of time necessary to attend the meeting. Of the foreign offices, Shanghai and Manila were not represented. Mr. Peters, partner in the Orient, recently left for Asia to take charge of our practice in the Far East, conducted at present from our Shanghai and Manila offices. Mr. Lovibond represented the European offices, making his first visit to this country since 1923. The program differed slightly from the previous two years. The first day was given over to a professional conference, with Mr. Ludlam presiding. The morning session was devoted to matters of administration and policy. Questions of personnel assumed an important part of this session. At noon a buffet luncheon was served in Mr. Ludlam and Colonel Carter's office on the thirteenth floor. In the afternoon the conference was resumed in the library when matters relating to technical procedure became the topics for discussion. The discussion proved a lively one when several interesting cases involving instalment sales brought out many important points. Following a number of private dinners, a theatre party was held Thursday evening with "A Night in Spain" serving as the attraction. As has been the custom the last few years, the annual golf tournament was held on Friday. This year the partners and managers were the guests of Colonel Carter at the Greenwich (Conn.) Country Club. Mrs. Carter entertained the wives who were present at luncheon at the club. The day was an ideal one for an outing despite the fact that this year's meeting was held later in the season than usual. Mr. J . A. Padon was in the best form, turning in a card of 83 for the eighteen holes to win low gross, which was won the year previous by Mr. Lawrence. The honors for low net went to Mr. Hill, with a score of 77, a title which Mr. Jumonville won two years ago and successfully defended last year. Messrs. Padon and Hill each were awarded a box of one dozen golf balls. The consolation prize was awarded to Mr. Croggon. Mr. Kracke was not present to defend his laurels. An informal dinner and dance was held at the club in the evening. Saturday, the third day of the meeting, was devoted to informal conferences. These individual discussions have proved so helpful and stimulating that a permanent place has been provided for them on the program. Although not the largest from the point of view of numbers attending, the 1927 annual meeting was voted by all as being the happiest and best one ever held. Annual Meeting
