Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hayden's Annual Cyclopedia of Insurance in the United States, 1908-1909 The twenty-first annual meeting of the Society was held in the assembly room of the Metropolitan Life building. May 7 and 8. 1909. President Gore presided. And delivered an address on The Lengthening of Human Life. There seems to be no reason for doubt. He said, that during the last 50 years there has been a marked increase in the mean duration of human life both in America and Europe. A larger and larger percentage of persons live up to and through the reproductive and productive periods of life. Nor, apparently, had the end yet been reached, and yet hopeful as were the signs in regard to the general improvement in health and vitality, it could not help matters to expect and predict radical changes in conditions immediately or in the very near future.
