Ladies and Gentlemen, your kindness over many years has left me feeling deeply grateful, but really embarrassed as I tried to prepare a speech for this occasion. Now I also understand better why non-legal people feel awkward in attempting to compose a Will. Nevertheless, it is curiously sweet for me to be giving this Presidential Address of 1978 in London , Ontario.

My mother, an American then living in Britain, replied with the question: “Johnny, why do you want to spend your life in a third-rate country?”. It was here in London, Ontario that Roberts Butts had already set out to build an internationally first-rate Department of Philosophy by making uncommonly intelligent use of taxpayers' money.
