  �b�Samuel Lewis Elmer - 1877-1967�/b�
 An era in the life of the AGO is ended. Dr. S. Lewis Elmer died Saturday morning March 11 within twelve days of his ninetieth birthday.
 He was an institution. He was a gentleman, a statesman, a wise administrator, and a humble, loved and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He gave more to the Guild than any many has ever given or is ever likely to give.
 His professional experience was as broad as his splendid vision. Born in Bridgeton, N.J., he was educated at the West Jersey Academy and was organist successively at Central Methodist Episcopal Church, Central Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Tuxedo Park, N.Y. and memorial Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. He was a Vice-President of the Bohemians (New York Musicians' Club), Secretary of St. Wilfrid's Society, a member of the Beethoven Society and a former Master and Grand Organist of Brearly Lodge of Masons in Bridgeton.
 For more than 50 years he was active on the National scene of the AGO and from 1943 to 1958 was President - a period which saw the greatest expansion of the membership. Retired as he then was from professional life, he gave his whole time to the Guild and visited practically every chapter throughout the country. Two days before his death he was at work at Headquarters, carrying out his responsibilities as Chairman of the Convention and Expansion Committee and Librarian-Historian.
 Honors were showered upon him. He held an honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Illinois Wesleyan University, Fellowships in the Royal College of Organists, the Royal Canadian College of Organists and Trinity College, London. Above all these, though, he treasured most the AAGO which he earned in 1901, symbolic as it was, and is, of the constant quest for higher standards in our beloved profession.
 The loving sympanty, concern and support of every one of us goes to his Louise, who cherished her husband in his innumerable good works and now faces life without one who seemed, to many of us, almost immortal.
