J. JUNE 29, 30, JULY 1, 1922. MORNING SESSION JUNE 29, 1922 The first session of the 27th annual meeting of the Maryland State Bar Association was called to order at ten o'clock by President Sylvan Hayes Lauchheimer. THE PRESIDENT: Ladies and gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to bid you welcome to this 27th annual meeting of the Maryland State Bar Association. The Secretary and Treasurer have prepared a very elaborate, instructive and entertaining program which merits, and will, I am sure, receive your commendation. The Secretary and Treasurer are strict constructionists and believe in upholding the Federal Constitution. They have viewed with slight favor the recent amendments to that instrument and hope that it will be left free from further attack. They think, however, that it might be wise to amend the Constitution of this Association, especially in one respect. This Constitution requires the President to make an annual address and they think that perhaps that might be eliminated, or, at least, honored in the breach, rather than in the observance. They have refused to take any responsibility for that portion of the program which includes the President's address and have cast that responsibility upon him. |
