Fifty Years of Progress 1880-1930

A.A.A. JUBILEE SOUVENIR sport. We have had reformers, bold spirits, with a difficult " course" to negotiate, but many of them have lived to see their ideas adopted. We have seen the " old brigade," rather conservative at times, but always willing to help the Association. Many of us are conscious that we might have done greater things for the Association we love, for the sport which gave us afternoons and evenings of pure enjoyment, warm friendships and strenuous competitions, but we have in a variety of ways endeavoured to carry on the traditions of the founders of the Association. It is difficult to look into the future with any certainty, but I believe that the founda– tions of the Association will never be shaken, that it will continue to control amateur athletics with wisdom and impartiality, and that it will always provide a meeting ground for men determined "To set the cause above renown, To love the game beyond the prize."
