Summary
Regretting that he cannot be present at the dinner, paying tribute to Freud and describing the broad scope of his influence: "Every decade is showing what diverse and significant consequences follow from the discoveries of psychoanalysis, in anthropology, in the history of religion, in aesthetics, in philosophy and metaphysics, as well as in psychology and psychiatry. It will be many centuries before all the implications of his teaching have been explored, and countless generations will render gratitude to the man who put into their hands new material for the understanding of the human mind, for relieving anguish, and for throwing light on the eternal structure of human institutions."
