But what we are met here today to do,as I see it,is to try to ap-praise those things which the professional ideal at its best has togive to a troubled world,namely,the setting of the quality of theperformance,whatever it be,above its concomitant,the financialgain.Not that we ignore the all too great number in each pro-fession who are on the make,first,last and all the time,some ofthem,alas,from sheer necessity.But as in the case of the instincof craftsmanship which shows itself as art in its higher categories,so the best members of the professions are as incapable of doingless than the best that is in them,just because there is less moneyreward,than a great musician to play badly to a half-price audience. We are speaking of ideals of the professions.No one need tellme(what the Webbs of England pointed out three decades ago)that the most skilled of each profession have to a great extent servedthe rich or tried to.Thank goodness the exceptions are notable.And it is the spirit of these notable leaders of all of the professionsthroughout the past centuries which it seems to me must be broughtbefore the world more clearly than it ever has been.And that can not be done alone by one profession.Their contacts with the public aretoo limited,each touching it at one point only,healch,huilding,edu-cation or art.Inter-related as they are to each other through theirdistinctive approach to the public affairs and the world of study andresearch much can be gained through inter-professional cooperation.Each of the professions needs the correcive criticisms of those whobecause they pracice another art,in what I have called the profes.sional spirit,can alone help to set us on our right course.Fif-teen year
