Dr. Phillip Rosen, chairman of the Medical Advisory Commit- tee, told the group that, "Import- ant and exciting research is underway here and in many parts of the world, directed towards the problem of arthritis." Dr. Rosen also went on, to point out that in 1975 the Society will have achieved-oneof .its most im- portant goals, the e: .blishment of rheumatic disease units at every medical school in Canada.
