    NOTES AND NEWS Ir may be permitted here to express the great gratification shared by every member and associate of the MEDICAL SOCIETY oF INprvipuAL PsycHoLoey at the appointment, by His Majesty the King, of Dr. Langdon Brown to the office of Regius Professor of Medicine in the University of Cambridge. It is no small thing for medicine that such an academic post should be held by so humanist a physician as our chairman. We all sincerely wish for him a happy and successful term, and are persuaded that, with Mrs. Langdon Brown’s gracious presence by his side, that term will be no less notable in the wider sphere of human relations than in those purely professorial. It had been hoped that the present session of the SociETy’s activities would have been inaugurated by an address from Dr. Adler. But owing to what the late Lord Brentford might have called a “‘stern call to duty’ from the United States, this was not to be. Under such circumstances, Dr. Seif, of Munich, at once responded in the most generous fashion to an appeal, and his _ visit proved to be a great success. Arriving in London on October 11th, Dr. Seif was entertained at dinner, together with the Committee of the Society and others, by Dr. and Mrs. Langdon Brown, on October 13th, before pro- ceeding to the opening meeting of the session which, attended by nearly a hundred members and visitors, was then addressed by him on Tue INDIVIDUAL AND THE COMMUNITY. On October 14th Dr. Seif proceeded to Birmingham, where a programme, arranged by Dr. Burns (Special Schools Medical Officer and Director of Child Guidance), was carried out. The Child Guidance Clinic was visited and tea taken with the local branch of the British Psychological Society, to whom an informal talk was given.on doings at Munich. Later Dr. Seif addressed a crowded meeting, principally of School Teachers, in the lecture hall of the University, under the chairmanship of Alderman Kendrick. This address is reproduced in the present PAMPHLET. 3
