MALIGNANT LYMPHOMAS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Mr．Chairman, Professor Ueki：

　I must apologize for having come all the way to Niigata to address you in Englishrather than Japanese．I only wish I could tell you what I have to say in your ownlanguage, but the fluency in Japanese of the previous speakers discourages me fromtrying．

　It affords me a special pleasure to come to Niigata because on each of my threevisits here　—the first in 1961 at the invitation of Prof．Ueki—　I have observed themiraculous growth of the city itself and the development of the Brain Research Institute．In the 12 years since my first visit Niigata has changed；　it is both larger and morebeautiful．
