چکیده
To very many of you, Lady Norman is synonymous with the N.A.M.H. ^ will therefore come as a shock to know that at the next A.G.M. she will not be standing as Vice-Chairman of the Association and Chairman of the Executive Committee. We have known for some time that Lady Norman felt she had carried these responsibilities for long enough; in fact, since the Association was formed. Now we are glad to know that Lady Adrian has agreed to stand in her place. This is not the moment to make any estimate of what Lady Norman has done for the Association. She has seen it grow and hatched over its policy and its staff. But more than this, she has been its ambassadress at home and abroad. Her interest and her devotion have been Paramount in the emergence of public enlightenment about mental health Problems. Lady Norman will not withdraw her interest when she ceases to be ^-hairman of the Executive. She retains the Chairmanship of Duncroft and has agreed to be Chairman of Springhead Park School. But for the Association an important chapter has closed. donation from Mrs. Rees-Thomas The journal this month contains an article about the Cambridgeshire Rental Welfare Association and an announcement about Mrs. Rees-Thomas's ?rft of shares in the Cambridge Instrument Company. This unprecedented generosity, giving us the equivalent of ?50,000, opens new vistas for our training VVork, and I want to say "thank you" again in this Letter on your behalf.
