Abstract
The power and increasing value of conferences and symposia of the sort which the Vanderbilt Law Review has arranged is that a team of first class men are gathered together to give testimony and useful advice upon the various independent factors which must be taken into account in solution of this fascinating problem. When a group of distinguished scholars and practitioners like those participating in this symposium are willing to make thoughtful contributions to this sort-of round table, without hope of compensation except for the satisfaction that comes from the provision of sound ideas and the education that stems from listening to the sound ideas of others, a valuable addition to the working tools of thousands of "laborers in the vineyard" is certain to result. And if I had any critical suggestion to make of the entire venture it would be that there should be added to this genial group of learned disputants the authoritative expression of leaders in the field of life insurance, accountancy and professional fiduciary administration.
