Presidential Address 1937

The Vice-President, Mr. J. N. Das Gupta, said that uptil yesterday it had been expected that Rai Bahadur G. C. Das, would preside at the Annual General Meeting. But it was only last evening that the Secretary received the letter containing the news that Rai Bahadur would not be able to attend the meeting due to illness and it had therefore suddenly devolved on him (Mr. Das Gupta) to deliver an address, and he had not had sufficient time to prepare one. He would therefore say a few words on the able report of the Secretary.
