• Scope and Content

  In his opening line Rodger addresses his audience by saying, "you were good enough to make me your President". Rodger became President of the Scottish Division of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association (now known as the Royal College of Psychiatrists) in 1965 so it is likely that this is the group he is addressing here.

  With corrections.
