From the President
The Ship And The VoyagePresidential Address to the Twenty-Ninth International Conference David C. Lane London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, England. It is an honour to have the opportunity of the Presidential Address to speak to one’s colleagues. Some colleagues in the System Dynamics Society may have noticed that I am English. I think of that, and of the fact that it is fairly early in the morning, and that brings to mind a remark from a fellow Englishman. During the nineteenth century the politician William Gladstone was campaigning and he kept a diary. There is one entry in which he records how he made a long speech in the middle of the day and then walked 15 miles to a small village. Gladstone wrote: “I noted immediately upon my arrival that the [people] seemed somewhat jaded, I therefore restricted my remarks to one hour and three quarters”. So, in case you are wondering what is going to happen now, I can at least assure you that in less than 30 minutes this will all be over. (Link to the complete article)
