Statistics in the Service of Insurance Administration

When this Society was founded more than ten years ago, one of the aims of the founders was to provide facilities for the interchange of the views and experience of three groups of insurance technicians whose interests are more or less intimately related. The Society's meetings and publications, and the work of its Educational Committees, were designed primarily, however, to promote professional education for the growing group of actuaries in the companies conducting principally casualty and miscellaneous lines of insurance. Most of these technicians had grown up in these lines of insurance and had not had an opportunity for training in the actuarial and allied insurance sciences similar to that extended to men in the life insurance business.
