The Annual Meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association took place in Washington, D. C. with Dr. G. Lane Taneyhill of Baltimore in the chair. The members present were Drs. Stuart and White of Washington, D. C., Drs. Taneyhill and Burrow of Baltimore, Dr. Coriat of Boston, Dr. Farnell of Providence, Dr. Wholley of Pittsburg, and Drs. Jelliffe, Clark, Stern, Kempf, and Oberndorf of New York. At the business session it was voted that the dues to the International Psycho-Analytical Association which had been allowed to lapse during the period of the War, be again resumed. In as much as the Constitution of the Association had been lost during the confusion of the war years, Dr. Clark moved that a committee consisting of the retiring president, the new president and the secretary be appointed to draw up a new constitution and a suggestion made by Dr. Coriat was carried that in the formulation of the new constitution only physicians be admitted to membership, this stipulation however not to be retroactive. The following new members were elected: Drs. Lorrin B. Johnson, Washington, D. C., Dr. Ross Mc. C. Chapman, Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, Towson, Md., Dr. Donald McPherson, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, and Dr. George W. Smeltz, Pittsburg, Pa. The officers for the year were elected as follows: President: Dr. C. C. Wholley, Pittsburg, Pa., Secretary-Treasurer: Dr. C. P. Oberndorf, New York City, Councilors: Drs. Pierce Clark and Adolph Stern, New York, and Trigant Burrow, Baltimore.
The scientific program, given during an afternoon and an evening session, was attended by a large number of guests who are not members of the Association.
Dr. Trigant Burrow of Baltimore read a paper on 'Some Sociological Aspects of Our Unconscious'.
