[Approved, January 4, 1889.] 4 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION' wASIDNGTON, D. c., Jwne 30, 19'29. Sm: As provided by law, we have the honor to submit herewith the annual reports of the American Historical Association for the years 1927 and 1928, included in a single volume. In an effort to clear the arrears that had accumulated, all reports since the report for 1922, together with the reports in this volume, have been limited to the proceedings of the association and of the Pacific Coast Branch. At the outset an, effort was made with the Government Printing Office to have two reports at a time appear in a single volume. But the reports of the association are issued as congressional documents, and as document numbers had been assigned in advance, and the document index which contains a numerical list of these numbers had been printed and distributed, no consolidation could be arranged until the reports had been brought to date. Reports, for which no numbers had been assigned, could then be consolidated and issued under a single number. Accordingly the reports for 1927 and 1928 now appear in a single volume. Two supplemental volumes contain a bibliography of the Writ­ ings on American History during the years 1927 and 1928, respec­ tively, compiled by Miss Grace Gardner Griffin. Very respectfully, LEO F. STOCK, Ohairman, Oommittee on Publications. ALLEN R. BoYD, Editorr. To the SECRETARY OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, Washington, D. 0. 5 CONTENTS Page I.

McNeill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address New York Hilton Trianon Ballroom New York, New York Saturday, January 4, 2020 5:30 PM John R. McNeill By George Vrtis, Carleton College In fall 1998, John McNeill addressed the Georgetown University community to help launch the university’s new capital campaign. Sharing the stage with Georgetown’s president and other dignitaries, McNeill focused his comments on the two “great things” he saw going on at Georgetown and why each merited further support. One of those focal points was teaching and the need to constantly find creative new ways to inspire, share knowledge, and build intellectual community among faculty and students. The other one centered on scholarship. Here McNeill suggested that scholars needed to move beyond the traditional confines of academic disciplines laid down in the 19th century, and engage in more innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary research. Our intellectual paths have been very fruitful for a long time now, McNeill observed, but diminishing returns have set in, information and methodologies have exploded, and new roads beckon. To help make his point, McNeill likened contemporary scholars to a drunk person searching for his lost keys under a lamppost, “not because he lost them there but because that is where the light is.” The drunk-swirling-around-the-lamppost metaphor was classic McNeill. Throughout his academic life, McNeill has always conveyed his ideas in clear, accessible, often memorable, and occasionally humorous language. And he has always ventured into the darkness, searchlight in hand, helping us to see and understand the world and ourselves ever more clearly with each passing year.

[Mrs. Justus Street Hotchkiss, the compiler of this book, died after a short illness on January 24, 1912. While most of the book was in type when she was taken ill, she was unable to give much attention to the proofs or to make final revision.

LAISSEZ-FAIRE THEORY IN THE EARLY AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Norbert Brockman, S.M.* The organized bar in the United States has, throughout its history, been shaped by the currents moving the history of the country at large. Thus, when the revolution that was Jacksonian democracy gathered strength in the 1820's, the legal profession felt its effects. The common view of the bar was that of Alexis de Tocqueville, who remarked: "If I were asked where I place the American Aristoc- racy, I should reply without hesitation... that it occupies the judicial bench and bar."' In the rising tide of Jacksonianism, this feeling could only result in a reaction against the organized bar. It was not uncommon for editors to accuse associations of undermining the bar, or even of being "conspiracies against the community at large."2 Traditionally, lawyers had been "called" to the bar, the admitting agent in the United States invariably being the court system.
