Description: Presented at October 1985 Annual Meeting. This session discussion is to call to mind the furor caused by Elizur Wright's eviction of a British company from his state for failing to meet reserve standards, to look at the 19th Century consequences of Wright's actions, and to ponder the great impact upon the actuarial profession today.

Description: This discussion looks at the role of the actuary in electronic data processing and if the actuary is in touch with recent developments. The panel also discusses the likely permanent role in this field for the actuary and how much does this permanent role depend on operations performed by computers. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1959, Vol. 11, No. 31.
