Similar musings of the presidents of the Society’s first twenty years were published inʹͲ ͵ͺʹȂͶʹ͵ȋͳͻͺͷȌand are well worth rereading for comparisons. The presidents’ submissions are in response to an invitation from the guest editors, and they are published here in the formats in which they were received: essays, lists, poems, letters. ͵ Ͷ ȗȗȗ M.
