Miss Dudgeon was the only person on the stage who was supposed to refuse to believe in telepathy, and she should have made the most of it.

...President of the Association; Director Charles F. D. Belden of the Boston Public Library, sole nominee for next Association President; Librarian Arthur E. Bostwick of the St. Louis Public Library, just back from examining China's library system and making recommendations to that Government; City Librarian Matthew S. Dudgeon of Milwaukee; Librarian Charles E. Rush of Indianapolis; Director George S. Godard of the Connecticut State Library; State Librarian Milton J. Ferguson of California...
