LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is usual on these occasions for the chairman to begin something like this: “The lecturer, I am sure, needs no introduction from me. ” And indeed, when I have been the lecturer and somebody else has been the chairman, I have more than once suspected myself of being the better man of the two. Of course I hope I should always have the good manners— I am sure Mr. Leacock has— to disguise that suspicion. However, one has to go through these formalities, and I will therefore introduce the lecturer to you.
