ficult tasks We Of the COMMITTEES

only one hundred from the hun,
dreds Of versatile and promising
young leaders 81 whom Mime

painful task.
Every time we went over the

IT, We were faced with one spec.
ter that wa might be- overlooking
someone Of great promise. And
the very representative nature Of
our selections meant that many
promising young men could not be-
named.
