Abstract
Because the first Paleontological Society short course covered the Mollusca, it may be appropriate to record a few words concerning that occasion and give belated thanks to those who participated. After being president of the Society, it occurred to me that most of the membership associated the Journal of Paleontology with it, but did not seriously consider the organization as a focal point for other activities. By giving a short course annually, I felt we could inform the membership on scientific matters, and also build up additional interest in society activities. The annual short courses on the various fossil groups and phyla have more than fulfilled that expectation. They tell the world that paleontology is alive and well.
