Jerome Wolcott Association of Commerce Acknowledgements In the compilation of material for this program, many persons and organization have been of great assistance. Before acknowledging this kind assistance, your editor wishes to state that, in all probability, some errors and omissions have inadvertently crept into the program. We regret our deficiencies and apologize now for any and all faults. Our more grateful appreciation is expressed to Fred Loomis for the many photographs furnished which encompass nearly all reproduced in this program; to Elmira Gliding Club for the use of many "cuts" which they Kindly permitted use to use; to the Curtis Publishing Company for materially facilitating the publication of the program; to Mr. T.P.

OT the readers we offer a word of explanation. the upsetting influence of a terrible was has caused the compilation of some statistics to be retarded. The short time elapsed between the award Contest to Elmira and the date of the Contest has presented further difficulties in the compilation of material. The shortage of book papers has forced the use of stock not up to our desires. I craving your indulgence, we ask that you take these conditions into your consideration and judge not too harshly. -Editor.
