Transition and change are essential attributes of the Institute. Each year something of which we already have been aware becomes more manifest, something new emerges, and other things recede into the background. Sometimes a specific spirit can be discerned, suggestively present earlier but now more clearly evident. Its qualities are difficult to describe. Such words as firming up, a greater acceptance of responsibility for self and others, a stronger feeling of belonging, a greater respect for one's share in the larger whole, and a deepening feeling for getting on with the task at hand, might indicate the feeling to which I am referring.
This spirit has most clearly manifested itself in the Candidates' Association. Over the years, from a position of significant and enthusiastic participation in all aspects of the Institute's functioning, its character and spirit changed, reaching a very low ebb recently. Many factors contributed to this state of affairs, and many others to the bursting forth of a new spirit in the past year. The candidates now more clearly feel it is their organization and that it is up to them to make of it what it can be. They have discovered new sources of strength and interest in each other. Their meetings have become more vital and alive, better attended and more fully enjoyed. The candidates' Bulletin has reflected this spirit and become a stimulating, informative, and cohesive factor in the Institute. This spirit has also become evident in their academic work and personal analyses.
