AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The thirteenth annual meeting of the Association took place in the hall of the House of Representatives in the Capitol, at 8 p. m., March 2, 1909. Arrangements had been made for the meeting according to custom in the evening at the University, and the program had been printed and mailed to the members. This program announced the following papers to be read: "Stephen F. Austin and the Independence of Texas," by Eugene C. Barker; "The Case of the Brig Pocket," by C. T. Neu; and "The Services of Athanacio de Mezieres in Texas, 1770-1779," by Herbert E. Bolton. On the morning of March 2, however, the House of Representatives sent a committee to invite the Association to take part in the exercises to, be held in the evening by the two houses of the Legislature jointly, asking that Judge Terrell, president of the Association, deliver an address. The invitation was accepted; and, in order to prevent the exercises from being unduly lengthy, the papers of Mr. Neu and Dr. Bolton were omitted, leaving only that of Dr. Barker, as especially appropriate to the occasion. The motive of this joint celebration of Independence Day was most commendable, and, though it was hastily organized, the results were highly gratifying. The audience was large; the address of Judge Terrell was in his usual happy vein; and Mr. Barker's paper, though read under difficulties, was well received. It is hoped, however, that if another meeting of the kind should be provided for, there will be earlier announcement of the arrangements and more deliberate preparations for it.
The public exercises were followed by the regular annual business meeting of the Association, at which the following officers were elected:
- Judge A. W. Terrell, president.
- Hon. Beauregard Bryan, first vice-president.
- Hon. R. L. Batts, second vice-president.
- Dr. M. J. Bliem, third vice-president.
- Mr. Luther W. Clark, fourth vice-president.
- Mr. C. W. Ramsdell, corresponding secretary and treasurer.
- Judge Z. T. Fulmore, member of the Council from the fellows for the term ending 1912.
- Prof. S. H. Moore, member of the Council from the members for the term ending 1914.
On the recommendation of the Council, thirty-three new members were elected; and, at a meeting of the Fellows held subsequent to the adjournment of the Association, Mr. J. L. Worley was added to the list of Fellows.
