AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION.

The midwinter meeting of the Association was held at Baylor University on January 5. In the absence of Judge Reagan, Hon. Oscar H. Cooper, President of that University, presided over the meeting; and Dr. George P. Garrison delivered a brief address, explaining the object of the Association, and describing and discussing the various collections of documents—in both Texas and Mexico—which contain the unwritten history of Texas.

The program, as announced, consisted of The Difficulties of a Mexican Revenue Officer in Texas, by Eugene C. Barker; The Picturesque Side of Protestantism in the Republic, by Miss Elizabeth West, and The Alamo Monument, by C. W. Raines. The first of these papers will be found in this number of the Quarterly; the last two were read by title. President Cooper, too, read a letter that had been written by himself to Governor Roberts—and returned to him with the latter's endorsement,—reviewing the history of the bill organizing the University of Texas. The letter forms an interesting chapter in the educational history of the State.

After the conclusion of the program, a business meeting was held, and more than a hundred members elected to the Association.
