Immunology in 1968

[摘要] It is gratifying to have, as a perogative of office, this opportunity again to speak to the members of the American Association of Immunologists and their guests. It occurs to me that some 33 years have passed since the first time I had the honor to present, with a considerably quickened pulse, a paper at a meeting of this Association.In keeping with the long-established tradition that the Presidential Address may follow any desired course, I propose to speak of certain matters which may seem only distantly related but do support a single theme, the state of the discipline of immunology. The reasons for choosing this course are several, and chief among them is the belief that some of these matters very much need airing.Probably only a few older members of the Association are aware that it was organized in New York City, shortly after 1914, largely as a result of the vision and vigor of one man, Dr. Arthur F. Coca.
